Respite Care

What is Respite Care?

Respite care / Short Term Accommodation is temporary support for an NDIS participant when their usual carer is unavailable, needs rest, or when the participant wants a change of scenery.

It can last for a few hours, overnight, a weekend, or up to 14 days at a time (depending on funding and needs).

What Respite Care Looks Like with ThriveNest

At ThriveNest Support Services, we understand that caring for a loved one is rewarding but can also be demanding. That’s why we offer NDIS-funded Respite Care — giving carers time to rest, recharge, and look after their own well-being, while ensuring participants receive the highest standard of care in a safe and supportive environment.

🏠 Our Respite Care Includes:

• Personal care (e.g., showering, dressing, hygiene)

• Meal preparation and cooking

• Medication reminders or administration

• Social activities and community outings

• Support with mobility and daily routines

🌿 Outcome:

• Carers can take a well-deserved break to rest, recharge, and enjoy time for themselves.
