Let Kintyre Lodge help you rethink respite

The primary purpose of Kintyre Lodge Dubbo is to provide high quality aged care residency services but for the many primary carers living at home supporting their loved ones, Kintyre Lodge can assist you too.

Our respite service is key to helping you take a wellearned break.

It’s common for carers to put their own well-being last and to feel that a break is not deserved. You may just feel too tired to make the effort or aren’t sure how to book respite.

It’s important, however, you give yourself time to recharge those batteries, get those nagging errands or jobs done, take time to nurture other relationships in your life and focus on your own goals - to nurture you.

It’s also perfectly natural and common to feel the care of your loved one is all your responsibility all the time yet without regular breaks the quality of that care and your own wellbeing can suffer.

Another hesitation you may feel is being worried about leaving your loved one in a new environment but at Kintyre Lodge we regularly welcome Dubbo region residents for respite and are very well prepared to ensure your loved one – and you – have a positive experience.

Your loved one will stay in a private en-suite room and enjoy freshly prepared meals, and morning and afternoon teas which are all made on site by our resident chef.

They will be cared for by registered nursing staff who are on site 24/7 and will have ample opportunity to enjoy activities and interactions with our permanent residents under the caring and experienced supervision of our creative activities officer.

We can guarantee you will have peace of mind during your break, which might be a few hours, overnight, a weekend or longer, knowing your loved one is enjoying quality care in comfortable surrounds, eating exceptional meals and making new friends in a welcoming, fun environment.

Too often families wait until they’re in emotional crisis and are forced to ask for help. Please get in touch today to book a tour of the Kintyre Lodge and respite facilities so when the need arises, you’ve already met us, seen the surroundings, have had time to process what you need to do to get prepared and understand completely what we can and want to do for you.
