Respite

“A delay or cessation for a time, especially of anything distressing or trying; an interval of relief”.

Are you looking for an adventure? Need some recovery time? Want to learn a new skill or experience a new environment? Or maybe you just need a getaway and need a rest from your everyday life?

This is where Pantheon Care’s respite services can help you.

One of our connections is Brooloo Park between Bollier and Imbil, which is where our specialty of camping trips will be held.

Not only are these camping trips a holiday but also a skill-building environment where you can learn many things from our team.

What's on offer

We can offer a multitude of respite options where YOU choose what you want:

We believe that the secret to success is found in positive interactions, relationship building, and developing a caring and nurturing setting. We take full advantage of the waterfalls, mountains, forests, beaches, and lakes that the Sunshine Coast and wider areas of Queensland have to offer, and you should too!

Our time with you is cherished and you can expect the utmost care with person-centered support with exactly how you want your time away to be which will be facilitated by skilled and compassionate staff.

We prioritise your interests to help your development

Below is a short description from the NDIS website regarding how something like short term accommodation works in the space of your plan and funding:

Short Term Accommodation, including respite, is support for when you need to live out of home for a short period.

Short Term Accommodation funding can be used for respite to support you and your carers. This gives your carers a short break from their caring role.

Short Stays

Short Term Accommodation may suit your needs if your usual support network isn’t available for a short period.

What will the NDIS Cover?

Usually, NDIS will fund up to 28 days of Short-Term Accommodation per year. You can use your Short-Term Accommodation funding flexibly. For example, you might want to use it in a block of up to 14 days at a time or for one weekend a month.

NDIS will fund standard rates for Short Term Accommodation. You can find the rates in the “NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits”.

Generally funding is for a group price, unless there is evidence you require individual support because of your disability. This means you may share support with other people unless you need individual support because of your disability.

If you already have funding in your Core budget, you can use this for Short Term Accommodation.

You can choose to use your Core budget on a range of supports like Short Term Accommodation to suit your needs. You should think about the best way to use your budget to pursue the goals in your plan.

If you need short term out of home care talk to your Support Coordinator, Local Area Coordinator (LAC), Early Childhood Partner, or planner.

NDIS may fund other supports if you need longer-term accommodation support. For example, funding Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) or other supports depending upon your support needs.
