Respite Care and Day Care Services
Respite Care
Are you over 65 and recovering from ill health, an operation or perhaps your family or a carer is going on holiday and they want to ensure that you are being well cared for?
If we have available beds, we can offer respite care if you need additional support to recover before returning home. It can be refreshing to enjoy a change of scenery, make new friends and give your usual carers a break or a holiday.
Our respite care provides you with 24/7 nursing care, all meals, tailored activities and a warm friendly welcome.
Day Care Service
Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm.
Although we don’t have a set Day Care programme, locals can come and spend weekdays with us.
You can participate in our daily activities , as well as enjoy our nutritious home-cooked meals and good company. We can also pick you up and take you home at the end of the day.
So, if you would like a break from your daily routine, contact us for more information.
Funding
You may qualify for a subsidy for residential care, day care and respite care, so you should discuss this with your GP, or one of the many other community support services.
If you are looking to receive help from the government to fund your care, you must be assessed by a government-appointed Needs Assessor at the Needs Assessment Service Co-ordination (NASC).
Alternatively, if you are able and prepared to pay privately, contact us and we will be happy to assist you (subject to availability).
Looking for longer-term residential aged care?
If you reach a stage where you need extra day-to-day care, we’re here to help you.
Rest home living at Fergusson Home is a perfect option when you require a little more care.
