Finding Respite Care in Moreton Bay

Accessing respite care through CURA is a straightforward process. Begin by contacting our friendly team to discuss your loved one’s needs and eligibility. We’ll arrange a complimentary consultation to assess your requirements and develop a personalised care plan. We work with individuals, families, and healthcare professionals to ensure a smooth and seamless transition into our respite care program. We’re committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance every step of the way, making the process as stress-free as possible. We also help navigate government funding options such as Home Care Packages and the NDIS, if applicable.

CURA offers a range of flexible respite care options tailored to individual needs and preferences. These include in-home respite care, where our trained carers provide support in the comfort of your loved one’s home, and respite care at our modern Wellness Centre, offering a stimulating and social environment. We can also customise a blended approach, combining elements of both in-home and Centre-based care to create the optimal solution. Regardless of the chosen option, our person-centred approach ensures your loved one receives the personalised care they deserve.

Eligibility for CURA’s respite care services depends on individual needs and circumstances. For older Australians, eligibility might be determined by factors such as age, level of care required, and potential access to government funding programs like HCPs or CHSP. For individuals under 65 with disabilities, NDIS eligibility is a primary factor. We encourage you to contact us for a discussion about your specific situation, and we can help you determine if you meet the eligibility requirements for our services. We will guide you through the process and support you in accessing the appropriate funding options available.

We understand that individuals may have specific dietary requirements, allergies, or medical conditions. We work closely with families and healthcare professionals to ensure these needs are met.

We work closely with your loved one’s doctor to create a care plan that addresses their unique requirements, guaranteeing their safety and comfort during their respite stay. We prioritise open communication and collaboration, ensuring we can provide the most appropriate and personalised care possible.

The length of stay for respite care is flexible and depends on individual needs and circumstances. It can range from a few hours to several weeks, providing the necessary support and relief for caregivers. We work with families to tailor the length of stay to meet specific requirements, understanding that the duration may depend on the caregiver’s needs, the individual’s health status, and other relevant factors. We encourage you to discuss your desired length of stay during your consultation so we can make the appropriate arrangements to best meet your requirements.
