Respite Care Services

Support for You, Care for Your Loved One

At Life’s Good Services, we understand that caring for a loved one is a beautiful act of love — but it can also be emotionally and physically exhausting. That’s why we offer flexible and compassionate respite care, giving carers time to rest, recharge, or attend to other responsibilities while knowing their loved one is in safe, caring hands.

Whether you need short-term cover, overnight care, or an ongoing break, our team is here to help with trusted NDIS and aged care respite services across regional and coastal Victoria and South Australia.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is temporary support that gives primary carers a break from their full-time responsibilities. We step in to care for your loved one — at home or in the community — so you can look after yourself, go to work, or take some much-needed time out.

We offer:

  • In-home respite care (during the day, evenings, or overnight)

  • 24/7 live-in support for planned or emergency breaks

  • Weekend and public holiday coverage

  • Support with personal care, meals, medication prompts, and companionship

  • Transport to appointments or social outings during respite sessions

Our services are tailored to the individual’s needs, routines, and preferences — ensuring a smooth, comforting transition while you rest.

Who Can Access Our Respite Services?

Our respite care is available for:

  • Seniors receiving Home Care Packages or private aged care support

  • NDIS participants with Core Supports or Short-Term Accommodation (STA) funding

  • Family carers needing a temporary break from full-time care

  • Privately funded clients seeking short-term or ad hoc support

We support people living with disabilities, dementia, chronic illness, limited mobility, or recovering from hospital stays — and we work alongside families to ensure the care we deliver is respectful, familiar, and dependable.
