What is Respite Care and when do you need it?
Respite care is a specialised service designed to offer temporary relief to primary carers, ensuring their loved ones continue to receive the necessary support in their absence. This service becomes invaluable when carers need to run errands, take a vacation, rejuvenate with some personal time, or address unexpected emergencies.
With trained professionals stepping in, it provides peace of mind that the individual's well-being and safety are prioritised. For those being cared for, it's a reassurance that their needs are met seamlessly, even when their primary carer takes a well-deserved break.

Respite Care for You and Your Loved Ones
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 95% of people aged 65 and over live at home — and 1.3 million of these elderly Australians require some support with everyday activities.
As a result, more than 1 in 10 Australians act as carers in some way. That’s 2.65 million carers! So, if you’re a carer, know that you’re in good company.
And, with a little help from Mayflower’s respite care services in Melbourne, you and your loved one will be in good hands, too.
