RESPITE CARE

Luxury Respite Care Victoria

Luxe Care offers small, consistent teams with clinical expertise and tailored respite plans for families. Our bespoke care plans provide much-needed temporary relief to those caring for loved ones with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or age-related needs.

WHAT IS IN-HOME RESPITE CARE?

Our respite care services allow hard-working caregivers the opportunity to step away from their responsibilities temporarily. Respite enables caregivers time and space to recharge, address their own needs, reengage with social activities and prevents burnout. During respite, our carers will step in to provide all necessary support based on the caregiver's instruction, to the individual requiring assistance, ensuring their wellbeing and daily routine is maintained.

OUR RESPITE SERVICES CAN HELP YOU:

Giving you a break when you really need it

Caring for someone you love with a chronic illness, disability or age-related needs can be both rewarding and challenging. Continued work without rest can lead to fatigue, stress, injury and poor physical/mental health. Everyone deserves a chance to rest!

Our respite carers are here to step in to allow you to step away. You will have the chance to take a proper break, recover and re-engage in social activities. Whether it’s a few hours or longer periods of time, Luxe Care's respite carers can step in and follow your personalised instructions to ensure your loved one's routine is not disrupted.

WHY RESPITE CARE?

Being a carer can be physically and emotionally draining. By taking a break, you can recharge and reset, knowing your loved one is in good, safe and trustworthy hands.

Other benefits include:

– Preventing emotional and physical burnout

- Improving your mental and physical health
– Maintaining quality of care for your loved one
– Allowing you to reconnect with hobbies or exercise
– Relaxing and de-stressing yourself and your loved ones
– Promoting healthier interpersonal relationships
– Enabling social interaction for you outside of caring

CLIENT STORIES

Peter lived with his mother Ellen in their Malvern home after she was diagnosed with dementia. While Peter was committed to caring for Ellen himself, balancing full-time work with caregiving responsibilities took a toll on his physical and emotional health. He found himself exhausted and struggling to provide the level of care Ellen needed while managing his own life.

Peter reached out to us (Luxe Care your in-home care provider for respite services Melbourne). A professional carer began visiting Ellen several days a week, assisting with personal care tasks like bathing and dressing while engaging her in stimulating activities such as puzzles or music therapy sessions. This gave Peter much-needed time to rest or focus on his own career without feeling guilty about leaving Ellen unattended.

With the support of respite care, Peter felt rejuvenated and better equipped to spend quality time with Ellen when he was at home. Sharing caregiving responsibilities improved both Peter’s well-being and Ellen’s overall quality of life.
