Integration, consistency & transparency

Your trusted NDIS provider of personalised overnight respite services, with homes located throughout NSW

Residential Family Respite Services

We are a dedicated NDIS provider, specialising in offering overnight Short-Term Accommodation (STA) and respite stays for both adults and children with special needs. Our services are designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment, ensuring that your loved ones are well cared for in a home-like setting. We have a team of experienced and compassionate carers who host participants in their own family homes, creating a personalised and welcoming atmosphere.

Our primary goal is to offer a secure, happy, and nurturing environment for your special loved ones, providing an alternative that is both more affordable and personalised compared to traditional commercial group homes. By staying in the carer’s own family home, participants benefit from a more intimate and supportive setting, where their unique needs and preferences are the focus of attention. We believe that this individualised approach not only enhances their wellbeing but also offers families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in good hands.

Services we provide

We offer three core services: overnight STA, respite stays, and holiday camps. We also provide bespoke services, so please get in touch to discuss your specific needs

Our Regular Overnight Respite Care offers consistency, flexibility, and reliability, with stays typically one weekend every 4 weeks, adjustable scheduling, and the same carer available for ongoing support and emergencies.

Our Emergency Respite Care provides immediate support during urgent or unforeseen circumstances, offering immediate support, extended stays up to 6 weeks, and peace of mind during critical times.

Our School Holiday Camps offer an exciting three-night escape with fun and adventure, featuring frequent availability, exciting activities at a farm stay in Forster NSW, and a safe, engaging environment for children.

We tailor our respite services to align with the participant’s schedule and needs, creating a bespoke plan that suits them best. Our carers are available during both weekends and weeknights to ensure flexibility and convenience.

For clients with a plan-managed or self-managed NDIS package, we invoice either the plan manager or the client directly, with respite services typically funded from the core services portion of their NDIS plan.

To facilitate this, we require the plan manager’s contact details, the client’s NDIS number, and a signed service agreement from the parent or guardian.

Our process begins with an initial phone conversation to gain a deeper understanding of your loved one’s requirements. Following this, we move to a ‘meet & greet’, at the carers home. We communicate throughout the entire process and get feedback along the way. With our model of respite, the right fit is important to us and our carers, as it is for our participants.

We utilise a comprehensive ‘About Me’ form for all new clients to capture their interests, hobbies, care, social and medical needs, as well as their preferences. This thorough understanding allows us to tailor our support effectively.

Recognising the importance of social dynamics, we carefully consider the compatibility of clients when more than one individual is receiving our service simultaneously. This ensures a harmonious environment for everyone involved.

Yes, all our carers are fully insured, providing peace of mind although we sincerely hope it will never need to be used!
