Respite Care in Brisbane

Your caregivers provide care for your loved ones, but who will give rest to them?
At Beacon Support, we understand the unique challenges faced by Brisbane's diverse community. Our respite care services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual and family, ensuring a seamless continuation of care.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a specialised service designed to provide temporary relief to primary caregivers. It's an essential part of the caregiving process, allowing those who dedicate their time and energy to caring for a family member or friend to take a break.

For caregivers, this break is essential, offering them time to rest, attend to personal affairs, or engage in leisure activities.

For care recipients, respite care provides a change in routine and the opportunity to socialise and engage in stimulating activities. Beacon Support offers various forms of respite care, including in-home care for those who prefer a familiar environment and community-based care for social interaction.

Different Types of Respite Care

Respite care comes in various forms, each designed to cater to the unique needs of caregivers and their loved ones. We offer a range of respite care types to ensure that every individual and family receives the support that best suits their situation:

In-Home Respite Care:
This type of care is ideal for individuals who prefer staying in a familiar environment. Our caregivers come to your home, providing necessary care and companionship. This option is flexible, ranging from a few hours to overnight stays.
Community-Based Respite Care:
This involves care provided in a community setting, such as day centres or community groups. Activities are often organised to promote engagement and socialisation, providing a refreshing change for the care recipient.
Specialised Respite Care:
For individuals with specific health conditions, such as dementia or physical disabilities, specialised respite care is essential. This type of care is provided by trained professionals who understand the nuances of these conditions.

Our flexible approach to respite care means we can tailor our services to match the specific requirements of each individual and their family.
