Aged Care Respite

Residential Respite Care allows you to take a break while we look after the person you care for.

Caring for someone you love is meaningful, but it can also be demanding. Everyone needs time to rest, recharge or simply catch up on life. At Olivet, we offer short‑term respite care so you can step away knowing your loved one is in safe, supportive hands.

You can feel confident they’ll receive care that’s tailored to their needs. We take the time to understand each person, their routines, preferences, cultural background, and what helps them feel comfortable and respected.

Respite can be arranged for many situations: planned breaks, short holidays, medical appointments, recovery after illness or unexpected emergencies. Whatever the reason, we’re here to help make the transition smooth and reassuring.

At Olivet Care, we offer two high‑care single respite rooms with ensuites and one low‑care single room with an ensuite. 

Our team provides consistent, attentive care and respite guests are welcome to join in daily activities and social programs if they’d like to.

When I am at Olivet enjoying short-term respite, I feel like I am in a home away from home and being part of a large family. I am so welcomed and can’t fault the staff. My room is very comfortable and I enjoy participating in the activities.
