Sunshine’s Older Carers Respite Program is targeted at carers over the age of 60 yrs who care for someone with an intellectual disability who may also have complex support needs (including challenging behaviour). Sunshine Respite aims to provide carers with a professional and experienced service while they take time for themselves. Our service is flexible enough to give the support when it is needed.
What we offer:
- We will aim to maintain the person’s lifestyle goals, routines, and commitments while they are at respite.
- We also aim to offer flexibility through flexible times, days planned and unplanned
as well as focussing on the needs of the
care recipient ( Physical, behavioural,
medical, daily routines, personal
commitments, cultural, etc. ).
- Our service is 365 days 24 hours per day
and especially focussed on non-traditional
times such as on weekends or over holiday
periods.
What we offer carers:
- Planned support provided in an individual and flexible way, giving time limited breaks
to carers.
Eligibility
- Applicants must reside in any of the 11 gov areas of Northern Sydney
- Older carers who are not already receiving the proposed respite through any other programs.
