The Importance of Respite

The longer we work within NDIS the higher the importance has become evident for both a participant and primary carer to take some time and enjoy some respite.

Unfortunately this does not prove to be an easy feat for many. For years they’ve become self dependent on providing care, dealt with the myriad of health issues and care changes and to think prior to NDIS many of these people have managed the care of their loved ones by themselves, there’s no wonder there’s primary carers out there who are completely depleted because they’ve had to neglect their own care and well being for far too long.

NDIS have identified carer fatigue as a significant issue and that’s why they often incorporate RESPITE CARE into a participants plan. This is so the carer can have a break from providing care in their regular environment and a care provider can take a participant to see loved ones or just take a break in appropriate short term accommodation to ease the burden.

In Care Central have been doing a lot of work into researching suitable accommodation for respite and will soon provide reviews on participant experiences to help you decide where you or your loved one should go. For more information contact us and we’ll gladly assist.
