Hello readers,
I’m working from home today instead of my usual locations in Wantirna and Knox, and I wanted to take a moment to share a service we have at Melbourne care services. Respite
what is respite? it is where the participant come to stay whether it is over night or days it gives them a chance to build independence and give carer’s and family members a chance to have some self-care and most importantly have some fun and make new friends.
Our friendly support team is here to help you with everyday tasks, like making delicious meals and helping out with chores. We also love getting out and about, whether that’s going to the movies, shopping, or heading to the swimming pool. We offer fun outings to suit everyone’s interests and needs.
We also offer a day program filled with lots of exciting, fun, and skill-building activities. You can enjoy things like pottery, painting on pre designed canvases, collage making, freestyle painting, arts and crafts, woodwork, and learning computer skills there’s something for everyone to enjoy witch is located in out art shed.
Before I finish, I just want to remind carers and family members how important it is to take care of yourself too. If you’re looking after a loved one, there’s support out there for you. You can check out Carers Gateway for help in person, over the phone, or online through their website
thanks for reading my blog
