Respite Transitional Living Testimonial

     

  • I enjoy the individual 1 x 1 care from the Hrl Support Workers. The Respite cottage is a great place for sleep overs and we go out during the day to different fun outings.
    Anthony Fysh, Service Recipient
  • After years of isolation, my son has found his experience at Respite very stimulating. I am greatly encouraged by the feedback from him. All the staff were very supportive.
    Mrs Brown, Mother of Service Recipient
  • Without Headway and clients, I would not have the opportunity nor the immense work satisfaction to be an active participant in helping individuals to rebuild and connect their lives.

Respite Transitional Living

 
 

Our service endeavors to make life that bit more EASIER for our clients and their carers

 

The Respite Transitional Living service provides carers and family members with planned regular, temporary or emergency respite in their home, on holidays or in one of our well-equipped respite venues.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With over 20 years knowledge, Headway Rebuilding Lives (Hrl) is the leading authority in the delivery of community-based rehabilitation and lifestyle services for people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), and other disabilities, in Southern Tasmania.

 

Hrl has provided quality respite services to clients and their carer's since 1992. 

In July, 2005, we introduced our new Respite Service, and opened our first fully fledged respite accommodation setting in Lindisfarne.

 

Our Respite Service affords well-deserved rest opportunities in the form of short or long term alternative accommodation to both Carer and Care Recipient.

 

 

The Respite Service also delivers a range of responsive and individually tailored respite options, including:

 

  • - Transitional Support
  • - Functional Assessments
  • - One-to-one Support
  • - Community Re-entry Programs
  • - Activities of Daily Living
  • - Family Support and Education
  • - Progress and Feedback Options
  • - Skills Development
  • - Access to Day Support Options

 

We are pleased to offer this Respite Transitional Living Service and to assist you in any way we can
