Respite Care

At Evolve Rehabilitation we offer respite care to allow caregivers a short break from their continuous caring responsibilities.

Respite care is available for ACC individuals and is on a case-by-case arrangement through our facilities. Our multi disciplinary team and funder work with the caregiver to understand the persons disability support  requirements over the period they may stay in one of our facilities. 

ACC clients who are accepted to respite care with Evolve can receive a minimum stay of three weeks every year. This support can be provided over three consecutive weeks or provided over the year, allowing caregivers to book time that suits them and their needs

What is respite care

Respite care provides caregivers a short break from their continuous caring responsibilities. The client can stay for short periods up to three weeks each year allowing their caregiver a break.

Can anyone with a disability access respite care with Evolve?

Respite care at Evolve is not available for all people whorequire residential level of support. We provide respite care for individuals covered by ACC and is on a case by case basis. We work collaboratively with caregivers and funders seeking to place their loved one in respite care to determine if an Evolve Rehabilitation facility is the best option.

Process for accessing our respite care

We work with caregivers to determine if respite care at an Evolve Rehabilitation facility is right for the person in their care. Through an individual case assessment, we will determine the level of care required by our team, and any funding that may be available.

What is respite care

Individual care requirements

Caregivers will need to be able to provide individual care supplies for a client who is able to access our respite care services. You will need to bring:

• Medication
