Flexible Respite Care in Newcastle, Maitland & Lake Macquarie NSW

Providing care for loved ones or friends with disability can be both rewarding and challenging. Although it can often be difficult for carers to ask for help, it’s important to be able to take some time out for yourself. Solid Holistic Care provides temporary short-term and medium-term accommodation for respite care services in the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Port Stephens regions for people with physical, intellectual and psycho-social disability.

In-Home Respite Care

Our support workers can provide care to your loved ones in their own home giving individuals the opportunity to remain in their own environment and still receive all the care they require.

Residential Respite Care 

Some individuals and families might choose to have a mini-holiday with the individual having a supported home away from home. Solid Holistic Care has short and medium-term respite accommodation and supports in several locations across Newcastle and the Hunter which could be suitable for your individual circumstances.

Emergency Respite Care

Solid Holistic Care can provide emergency respite care when required. This could include the death or illness of a primary carer or an urgent situation in which it might be difficult for required supports at home to be provided.
