What is Residential Respite Care
Residential respite care provides an invaluable opportunity for caregivers to take a much-needed break, whether for a few days or several weeks. This service allows carers to spend time away from their caregiving responsibilities, knowing their loved one is receiving exceptional care in a compassionate and secure environment.
Are all carers eligible?
You are eligible to register if you are a carer who is looking after a senior who requires respite care.
Who are carers?
The definition of a carer is someone who provides care and support to either a relative or adult who has:
– a disability
– medical condition
– mental illness
– frail due to old age
The care offered must be unpaid and for those who are employed to look after someone, work as a volunteer or part of an organisation, or do work experience as part of a course.
What do carers do?
Carers offer support by helping with daily activities such as:
– preparing meals
– bathing
– dressing
– going to the toilet
– moving around
– taking medicine
However, carers providing care for a more independent relative or friend will only require minor assistance with tasks such as:
– transport
– housework
– shopping
– banking
Why choose residential respite care?
At Coolibah Care, residential respite is recommended for carers who tend to those with more complex or specialised needs.
By being in the residential facility, guests can enjoy light-filled spaces, specially designed sensory gardens and courtyards, communal spaces, and private areas, allowing clients to feel at home.
During the guests’ time at Coolibah Care, they receive person-centered care from our experienced respite team members, ensuring that their needs are met with compassion and respect.

Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD)
Voluntary assisted dying is designed to offer eligible Western Australians an additional option for end-of-life decisions within the context of high-quality, patient-centered end-of-life care. Coolibah Care adheres to the Western Australian Voluntary Assisted Dying Guidelines to ensure compliance with the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act of 2019. Coolibah Care does not engage the services of medical practitioners or nurse practitioners to facilitate residents’ access to voluntary assisted dying. Consistent with legislative requirements, Coolibah Care will not impede a resident’s right to access voluntary assisted dying, nor negatively impact a resident’s dignity or right to choose this option. Coolibah staff may be approached in relation to voluntary assisted dying and will escalate the matter to a senior member of the clinical team to support access to appropriate information and resources relating to the VAD process.
