We also have 11 residential aged care communities in Victoria and Tasmania - so if your patients require 24-hour residential care, they will usually have the option of staying close to their local community or loved ones.
Our respite care options include in-home respite, day centre care, and respite stays at our residential aged care communities. These services can be ideal for your patients who are recovering from an illness – or those who could do with some extra support to give their caregivers a break.
