As the New Year begins, many family caregivers find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities, from managing household tasks to providing round-the-clock care for their loved ones. While caregiving is an incredibly rewarding role, it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. That’s where respite care comes in — a vital support service designed to give family caregivers the break they need to recharge and continue providing the best care possible.
Respite care provides temporary relief to family caregivers by offering professional caregiving services for a set period—whether for a few hours, overnight, or an extended duration. This support can be provided in-home or at a dedicated care facility, making it versatile and accessible.

Respite care is designed to fit seamlessly into your caregiving routine. Here’s how it typically works:
Why Right at Home Stands Out:
How much respite care are you allowed?
This depends on the funding option. With HCP, care hours are determined by your package level. Private Pay offers complete flexibility.
How is respite care paid for?
Funding options include government-supported Home Care Packages, Private Pay, or a mix of both. Speak with our team to understand the best choice for your situation.
What does respite care cost?
Costs vary depending on the duration, type of care, and funding option. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Who qualifies for respite care?
Respite care is available to anyone needing temporary support for a loved one, particularly family caregivers balancing multiple responsibilities.
Why is respite care important?
It benefits caregivers by offering them time to recharge, reducing stress, and improving the quality of care they can provide.
Caregiving is an incredible responsibility, but you don’t have to do it alone. Start the New Year by prioritising both your well-being and your loved one’s care.
