Services related to respite care in Melbourne are generally for a short-term, aimed to provide relief for the primary caregiver. The duration of this care could be a few hours, several days or weeks. These services are generally provided at home, but in special cases, the service provider could help the NDIS participant at other location as well.
Respite care providers could help the participants with various needs such as dressing, bathing, meals, toileting, physical exercise, medication and other medical care. Service providers, through home care programs, provide various services.
If a participant were seeking long respite care, then the service provider would look for temporary accommodation at the care facility. It would help because it is not only safe, but the participant would have company and will be monitored 24/7.
Respite care is crucial for the overall being of the primary caregivers because in the absence of such support they tend to experience stress, which could come out in the form of excessive anger and resentment toward the care-receiver and other family members.
Relief from such care would help in rejuvenating and come back to take care of their beloved with extra zeal. It also makes them feel rested and refreshed, which is very important while they are taking care of patients.
