Respite Care

Recharge, Refresh, Renew

Respite Care

A safe break for families, and meaningful support for participants.
Caring for someone with disability is rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Respite care gives families and carers time to rest, recharge or attend to other commitments , while ensuring their loved one continues to receive safe, familiar and respectful support.
At Silverlining SA, respite is not a one-size-fits-all service. We take time to understand routines, preferences and support needs so respite feels comfortable and reassuring for everyone involved.
