Participants develop essential life skills and confidence through engaging activities and tailored support.

Social Connections

Respite care encourages participants to build relationships, meet new people, and explore community activities.

Enhances Well-Being

Respite care allows participants to take part in relaxing, enjoyable activities that boost mental and emotional well-being, helping them feel rejuvenated and happier.

What is Respite?

Respite care is temporary support designed to give carers a much-needed break while ensuring participants receive quality care. It’s an opportunity for carers to recharge, knowing their loved ones are in a safe and supportive environment.

For participants, respite is more than just a break – it’s a chance to engage in new activities, build independence, and form meaningful connections. Whether it’s for a few hours, a weekend, or longer, respite care is tailored to suit individual needs, making life easier for both carers and participants.

At Sunflower Services, our respite care focuses on creating positive, enriching experiences that benefit everyone involved.

Real Stories: How Respite Care Changes Lives

At Sunflower Services, we’re proud to create memorable and meaningful respite experiences for our participants. Here are two inspiring stories of how respite care has made a difference.

Tatum’s Wonderful Respite in Foster

Tatum, a vibrant 49-year-old, joined Sunflower Services while managing Bipolar Affective Disorder, ADHD, and chronic pain. She enjoyed a 5-day respite in her dream location, Foster, with her beloved dog, Rudy.

With the support of her caring SW Rylee, Tatum had an incredible time visiting cafes, exploring an animal sanctuary, boating, and even crafting a cheeseboard! Meanwhile, her Sunflower Support Coordinator arranged for her home to be deep cleaned, ensuring she returned to a safe and comfortable environment. For Tatum, respite care wasn’t just a break – it was a chance to reset and recharge.

Mark’s Thrilling Adventures

Mark, a 47-year-old with an Intellectual Disability and Mood Affective Disorder, has had amazing adventures with Sunflower Services. On his recent respite, he stayed overnight in Sydney, climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and even fed a tiger at the zoo!

With the support of his SW Paulini, Mark ticked off bucket list items while his loving mother, Anne, enjoyed a well-deserved rest. Mark’s enthusiasm for new experiences makes every respite a joyful journey, and we can’t wait for his next one!
