Respite Care Perth

Respite Care Explained

Taking care of loved ones can be hugely rewarding, but we recognise it can sometimes be physically and emotionally draining. White Oak’s flexible respite care service provides an organised, temporary break for both you and your loved one. Whether it’s for a few hours while you run errand, regular weekly breaks, a much needed holiday or even emergencies, we can provide you the break you need with the peace of mind that your loved one is being cared for.

Our respite care plans are tailored to each client, and we will work with you to design a program that meets your needs and your budget.

Respite Care for a few Hours

If you only need a few hours away, we can arrange someone to come to your home for as long as you need. They can be there to assist your loved one to get ready in the morning, prepare meals, or go on an outing. You might just need someone to come in and keep them company while you are away.

We can arrange this for you as a one-off service, in case of emergencies, or on a regular basis.

Respite Care for a Day

Need more than a few hours? We can be there for your loved one for the whole day.

We offer social and recreational activities for your loved one to participate either individually or within a group. This gives your loved one the opportunity to have a social experience and interact with others. We can come to your home and provide assistance with bathing, dressing and getting ready to go out for the day. At the end of the day, we will provide assistance getting ready for bed.

That way, you can both have an enjoyable day, for as long as you need and know that they are being cared for the way that you would.

Longer Respite Care Options

If you need to be away from your loved one overnight or for a few days, we can design a care program that is suitable for the level of support they need in the home.

This might be a combination of people coming in the morning and evening to assist them with their meals or certain tasks. It might even be just a welfare check once a day while you are gone, or a prompt to take their medication. We will work with you on designing a respite care plan that is tailored specifically to you, that meets your needs and budget.

We can even book respite care for your loved one for the entire duration you’re away should you prefer.
