Respite Care
At Alexander Aged Care, we provide short-term care and support to people whose carers are unable to meet usual care arrangements or who need an extra level of temporary assistance.
We understand that a resident’s needs are forever changing and so, as their individual needs change or grow, so too will our approach to care. It’s all part of our commitment to offering tailored support that respects the different needs of each resident.
Housed within a secure and comfortable facility, our commitment to personalised care is our defining feature. With a focus on individual needs, our respite care is designed to assist with the transition post-hospitalisation and work as a stepping stone to more comprehensive aged care. Physiotherapy is included in the regular fee and we have access to other allied health services available at an extra cost.
Specifically, you can expect:
24-hour on-site Registered Nurse and Assistant care
A full scope of ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) assistance by staff
An in-house chef with meal-planned menus – all seasonal and with input from residents
Furnished rooms, inclusive of hospital beds, wardrobes, linens, toilets and basic toiletries
Full in-house laundry and cleaning
Weekly Activities and entertainment schedule
Allied Services including Physiotherapy, Mobile Xray and Ultrasound, Pathology, Podiatry, Dental, Optometry, Speech Pathology and Dietician.

Our People
Our model of putting people first over profits allows us to provide exceptional 24 hour clinical and residential care with our staff ratios consistently being higher than the industry average. This translates to more contact with residents to ensure the best clinical, recreational and allied health intervention and care contributing to your enhanced health, longevity, pleasure and comfort. Any surplus revenue is reinvested into our facility to allow us to focus on continuous quality improvement. The benefactor is you, our resident.
Our Activities Coordinators are one of our gifts to the residents. They breathe life into the facility to offer our residents the best life possible in their later years. Families often comment on the quality of life we afford their loved ones and how giving of their time and energy our Activities Coordinators are to those they serve.
