Hartley Lifecare provides centre-based respite care (short term accommodation) to people with disability in Canberra. Residential respite care is 24/7 care in specialist disability accommodation for a short period of time.
Carers sometimes need to take a break from the physical and emotional demands of their role. Respite allows them to be able to take ‘time out’ with real peace of mind. The person with disability also benefits from the increased social activity available in short term accommodation respite care.
If you are interested in discussing respite care options please contact Chinedu Nwakor - Disability Programs Manager (STA) on 02 6282 4411 or at enquiriesSTA@hartley.org.au
