Respite Care

Boandik offers high-quality respite care designed to provide support for seniors and a well-deserved break for their regular care giver (often a family member).

Subject to room availability, we provide short-term stays of up to 4 weeks, primarily for those looking to transition into permanent care, or for convalescent recovery following a hospital stay.

Respite residents receive the same premium standard of service as our long-term residents, including:

What’s included

Professional Support

24/7 care from our clinical staff

Dining

Fresh, home-cooked meals prepared on-site daily

Social Connection

Full access to our lifestyle programs, activities, and the opportunity to build new friendships.

Accessing respite care

Our short-term respite is offered at the discretion of Residential Services and based on care needs and current vacancy levels at the time of your enquiry. 

As a service to the community, Boandik offer one respite room at Kessal, Lake Terrace that can be pre-booked in advance. This allows a person to receive respite care while a spouse, carer or family member is absent.

Costs

Fees are based on the Australian Government’s basic daily fee 
(currently 85% of the single Centrelink aged pension).

The full fee for the stay is billed in advance upon admission.

Assessment To access respite care, you must have a current aged care needs assessment. If you don't have one, contact My Aged Care at 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au


Once your assessment is ready, you can call our Residential Services team on (08) 8725 7377 to check current room availability and discuss your specific needs.
