Our Objectives
- To build a 6-bedroom respite care facility for the local Community of Queanbeyan and its surrounding region.
- To provide short-term residential accommodation for people between the ages of 18 to 60 years who are suffering from a terminal or chronic illness.
- To work with the Commonwealth and NSW State Governments to develop a sustainable funding model to run the respite care facility.
- To raise funds for the ongoing administration of the respite care facility.
- To ensure that the respite care facility is maintained as a centre of excellence.
- To ensure that the respite care facility is run by a well-respected and professional organisation. Residents can expect the very best care available from expertly trained, compassionate professional people who love what they do.
- To provide support services for families with family members resident within the facility.
- To provide carers with a well-earned break knowing their loved ones are being well cared for so they can re-energise and continue their responsibilities as a carer.
The respite care facility will provide short-term (maximum of 2 weeks) professional residential care for people aged 18 to 60 years suffering from a terminal or chronic illness.
The facility will support carers in Queanbeyan Palerang Region.
In most cases the residents utilising the facility will be at the chronic or recovery phase and require low to medium care support.
The chronic phase refers to the period of time when people are adjusting to their terminal diagnosis. They may or may not be receiving treatment during this stage, but requires the need of a carer.
The recovery phase does not mean people are actually recovering from the disease and heading towards wellness. It refers to an emotional recovery, whether or not you are in remission and requires the need of a carer.
The facility does not cater for people in the terminal phase. These people at this point require palliative care support such as a hospice.
