Respite Care
Respite care - temporarily unavailable
Respite Care is a short term care and accommodation service that we provide at select Aveo and Freedom Care Communities.
Due to the impact of COVID-19, we have made the decision to focus on the needs of the existing residents in our communities. As a result, there will be no new respite stays available within our communities until the COVID-19 threat is eliminated.
However, your enquiry is important to us and we would like to further understand your needs. Our team of Industry Liaison Professionals are available to assist you in finding a solution. Options that can be discussed include future planning, access to immediate care and services and permanent care options.
To speak with an Industry Liaison Professional, please call 1800 835 217.
