Respite Care
Respite Care (Short Term Accommodation) for Children
Advanced Support Services Respite Care is a home away from home, for children living with a disability to experience life in a supportive environment.
What is Respite Care?
Respite care is a special type of support where a child with a disability can stay in a safe and comfortable place for a short period of time. It is like a mini vacation, providing them a chance to take a break and try new things.
Respite Care is an opportunity for a child to be away from home temporarily and explore new activities, make friends, and have fun in a supportive environment.
At the same time, respite care also gives parents or caregivers a chance to take a break and attend to their own needs.
Respite Care at Advanced Support Services
Sometimes children need a little time away from their usual routine to try new things, make friends, and learn fun skills. Respite Care at Advanced Support Services is a place for children to take a break and have fun in a supportive environment.
Our respite care also gives parents a chance to take a break from their caring role, knowing that their child is in good hands.
