Navigating the world of residential aged care can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry – we’re here to help you make sense of it all. When it comes to aged care, you generally have three main options to consider: respite (short-term) care, permanent care and specialised memory support care. Each service type caters to different needs, ensuring that you or your loved ones receive the support that’s just right. At Warrigal, we’re committed to providing quality care while prioritising your comfort and well-being. Let’s delve deeper into understanding these types of residential care, and how they can support you or your loved ones.
Respite care is designed to offer short-term relief, both for caregivers and the older person receiving the care. Whether it’s for a few days or a few weeks, it’s like a pause button for daily care responsibilities.
As the name suggests, permanent care is for individuals who need continuous, long-term assistance. It’s designed for older people who need ongoing support and care, whether for personal assistance, medical needs, or daily living tasks. It’s like having a caring community around you all the time, with our expert team on-hand for you 24/7.
Why choose it? If you or your loved one’s care requirements are long-term, permanent aged care offers a comfortable and supportive environment with professional care always at hand.
Memory support care is designed for those dealing with memory-related conditions, such as dementia. It’s like a safe haven where individuals can receive specialised care and support tailored to their unique needs.
These are the three main types of residential aged care, but the choice depends on your unique situation. Whether it’s permanent care like a new home, respite care for a short break, or memory support care for specialised assistance, we’re here to provide the information and support you need. If you have any questions or need more details about these aged care options, please reach out to us. We’re here to make your journey smoother and more comfortable.
