Providing Personalised Support for Seniors and Their Families

Our short‑term flexible Sunshine Coast respite care is designed to support you and your carer for brief periods, offering both the opportunity to rest and the chance to connect with others. Services can be arranged regularly, for special occasions, or at short notice, with two options available with Cura: in‑home day support—personalised care delivered in the comfort of your own home—and community support through engaging programs, social groups and companionship at our welcoming Ashmore Wellness Centre. At Cura Aged Care, we recognise the dedication of family caregivers and the importance of ensuring seniors feel supported, respected, and valued. Our professional team works alongside families or carers to maintain familiar routines, offer companionship, and provide culturally sensitive care that honours each individual’s background and preferences. With multilingual staff trained in cultural safety, we deliver personalised attention that brings peace of mind to both seniors and their loved ones.
