Audrey, an active 90-something year old who played tennis three times a week up until a few years ago, looks forward to her regular retreats at Bisdee, which offers respite care services, located at our Windsor Street site.
“Every fortnight I come here on a Friday and go home on Sunday and I get to spend time with my friends while Rosie gets to spend time with her friends,” she says.
As her daughter Rosie (who is also her carer) explains, Audrey’s time in respite is a win-win for both of them.
“Mum loves to dance and sing and she’s a regular at the New Norfolk Country Jamboree when she heads out there with the Glenview day centre. She really enjoys her time here and from my perspective, everyone is fantastic to work with and I don’t have to worry about her at all while I get some time to recharge. We have a routine established where she brings in her photos and I pick flowers from the garden for her room and write her a little card each time with some kind words. Glenview was the only place I could find which was flexible to fit in with our needs and we both really appreciate that.”
When respite is needed, whether it be for yourself or a carer, it’s an important way to relieve stress and have time to recharge.
We offer a range of options that can assist families and carers to have a well-earned break while knowing the person they support is being cared for by our highly skilled staff in our safe and comfortable surrounds.
This includes short-stay accommodation and support in our specialised respite rooms.
Whether it’s for a few hours, an overnight stay or a few weeks, we are able to work
with you to support your unique situation.
