Renewal and Rest

About the service
Renewal and Rest is a respite service which provides carers with the opportunity to have planned breaks whilst the person they care for is supported to participate in community activities or is supported at home.

The support provided to the care recipient can reconnect them with their local community and provide them with opportunities to undertake activities and interests which they have previously participated in.

The service operates within the North and West and South East Country Regions of South Australia.

Types of respite available
Renewal and Rest provides planned, ongoing respite. Respite can also be arranged for emergency situations that arise for carers in the program.

Respite services are provided by either trained UnitingCare Wesley Adelaide staff or brokered through approved agencies.
