Respite care allows family members and carers to take a break from their constant care role, or provides short term care for those without a carer at home.
Caring for a loved one who is suffering a long term or life-limiting illness takes dedication, hard work and commitment. It can be very isolating and carers are often left feeling unsupported, and physically and emotionally drained.
Anam Cara House Colac supports home carers and those being cared for by providing respite care, lightening the load for all involved. With trained staff and volunteers, carers can be assured their loved one is receiving the care they need in a warm and welcoming home-like setting.
There are no expectations of guests and you may participate in the various activities on offer, or simply rest and read, enjoying the magnificent views and surrounds.
