WHAT RESPITE AT HOME COULD LOOK LIKE

Flexible support, when you need it most

Mary has been caring for her husband, Peter, since he was diagnosed with dementia three years ago. While Peter is still able to enjoy many of his daily routines, he now needs someone with him throughout the day. Mary loves caring for him, but she rarely has time to herself and is beginning to feel exhausted.

Once a week, a Haven Care companion spends the day with Peter. They share morning tea, work on a jigsaw puzzle, take a gentle walk around the garden, prepare lunch together and enjoy looking through old family photos.

Knowing Peter is safe, comfortable and enjoying the company allows Mary to meet friends for lunch, attend appointments, or simply have a few hours to rest and recharge. She returns home refreshed, knowing both of them have had a good day.

For their family, regular respite has become an important part of helping Peter remain at home while also supporting Mary's own wellbeing.

My dealings with Haven Care were excellent. From my first meeting with Trish Lowe I felt confident and comfortable. The respite service they offered was fully explained and reassuring. Their care was provided promptly and reliably in a very considerate, respectful and caring manner. Natalia could not have been better in her kind and thoughtful management of my sister. I would unreservedly recommend Home Care as a first-class provider for anyone seeking special and friendly care for their loved ones.
