Chevallum Respite Care

CURA Aged Care offers both in-home respite care and respite care at our dedicated Wellness Centre on the Sunshine Coast. In-home respite care provides personalised support in the comfort of your loved one’s home, while our Wellness Centre offers a stimulating and social environment with a range of activities and programs. Both options are designed to provide you with peace of mind and your loved one with a positive and enriching experience. We work closely with you to determine the best option to suit your needs and preferences, taking into consideration individual needs and circumstances to ensure optimal care.

CURA can assist you in navigating the funding options available for respite care. We work with clients to determine eligibility for Home Care Packages, CHSP, and NDIS funding. Our team can provide guidance and support throughout the application process, ensuring you have access to the funding you need to access our services. We understand that navigating the funding system can be complex, and we’re committed to making the process as easy as possible for our clients and their families. We’re happy to answer your questions and help you determine the best funding path for your situation.

Our carers and support staff are highly qualified and experienced in providing compassionate and professional respite care. They undergo thorough background checks and receive ongoing training in cultural safety, person-centred care, and the specific needs of older adults and people with disabilities. We pride ourselves on employing a team dedicated to providing exceptional care and support, creating a safe and nurturing environment for our clients. Our team is passionate about delivering high-quality care, ensuring your loved one’s safety, comfort, and well-being throughout their stay.

The specific services included in our respite care packages vary depending on your loved one’s individual needs and preferences. However, generally, our services encompass personal care (assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting), meal preparation and assistance, medication reminders, light housekeeping, companionship, and transportation assistance. We also offer a range of social and recreational activities, tailored to the interests of each client to enhance their overall well-being. We work closely with you and your loved one to ensure the services we provide align perfectly with their individual needs and preferences.

We understand that circumstances can change, and we have a flexible cancellation policy. We request as much notice as possible for cancellations, enabling us to allocate the time to other clients who may need care. The specifics of our policy are explained in detail in our booking agreement, which we will happily provide to you. We aim to be understanding and supportive, balancing flexibility with the need to manage our resources efficiently to ensure we continue providing high-quality care to all of our clients.
