Total Health Choice supports respite clients who are temporarily living in residential aged care facilities throughout Melbourne.
We provide Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy visits that help maintain mobility, confidence and participation during a respite stay.
Respite care gives carers an opportunity to take a break while the person they care for is supported in another setting.
We can visit respite clients at residential aged care facilities and work with the person, family, facility and care team to plan appointments and transitions.
Some home care package clients and private-paying clients may be eligible for respite-related services. Funding arrangements are individual and can depend on the person’s provider, care setting and current support arrangements.
We recommend confirming eligibility and funding with the relevant home care coordinator or provider before services begin.
Our team makes next steps clear for clients, families, providers and coordinators.
