Brightwater offers respite at a number of our residential aged care facilities in the Perth metropolitan area.
Respite is available to people who require different levels of support, from those who only need only low level support to those with high level care needs, including people living with dementia.
At Brightwater there is a minimum stay for respite of one week. Respite is booked in weekly blocks (Monday to Monday) and you may be entitled to stay for up to 63 days.
How to use our respite services
To utilise Brightwater’s Respite services, you will need a current Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) assessment for respite care. If you do not have an ACAT, you can arrange to be assessed through your GP.
Fees
The Department of Health and Ageing subsidises fees for respite and sets the fee amount you are required to pay. The daily fee is approximately 85% of the aged pension.
