A short break can make all the difference for carers and families. Prime 1 Care provides flexible respite support so your loved one stays safe and supported while you rest
Respite care gives carers a break, from a few hours to several days, while the person they support continues receiving attentive care. It’s one part of our wider range of NDIS services, and can be arranged alongside other supports such as community nursing if ongoing clinical care is also needed.
Eligible NDIS participants may be able to use their funding for short-term respite, depending on their plan, circumstances and support needs. Short-term respite gives primary informal carers a break from their caring responsibilities while the participant is supported elsewhere. Funding and eligibility vary by plan, our team can help you understand your options and, where appropriate, work with your support coordinator or plan manager.
Short-term respite: a planned or last-minute break lasting a few hours to a few days, with support delivered in your home or a familiar setting.
Weekend and overnight respite: for carers needing a longer break, with support continuing overnight or across a weekend. [CONFIRM WITH CLIENT: is this in-home, or in a residential setting?]
Emergency respite: where possible, we aim to respond quickly if your usual care arrangement is disrupted. [CONFIRM: response time / availability commitment].
Mental health respite: support for carers of someone with a mental health condition, delivered with an understanding, informed approach. [CONFIRM: specific mental-health training/coordination claims before publishing].
If your loved one also needs help with everyday tasks between respite bookings, our assistance with daily living service can provide that ongoing support.
[Populate with verified, specific details rather than generic claims, e.g. NDIS registration status, years operating, worker screening/training, how carers are matched to participants, and genuine testimonials if available. Specific, checkable facts build far more trust than general statements like ‘experienced, qualified team’.]
