Do you care for an older person and would benefit from some support?

Resthaven offers access to respite services for the person in your care, which can give you some respite from your caring role - helping you stay well and healthy.

Resthaven Respite & Carer Support is available to eligible people in Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu Peninsula, Limestone Coast, Murraylands, Riverland and surrounds.

Respite for carers of older people is provided by trained Resthaven home support workers, tailored to suit your needs. Support includes in-home respite support, centre-based extended day, individual and group support, and overnight or emergency respite during the week.

Carers need time out to look after themselves and their own needs. This may be going to work, a social engagement, an appointment, a medical procedure, a volunteer commitment, a regular pastime, and so on.
