Personalised Respite Care
What sets The Bridge apart is our personalised approach to respite care. We recognise that each individual has unique needs and preferences. Our Getaways respite activities are innovative and individually planned, held in safe environments and supported by skilled and experienced workers. Activities are available for groups or individuals and are always lots of fun! Getaways activities cater for all individuals, including people who may have higher support or complex medical needs.
The Getaways team can send you regular updates so that you’ll always know what exciting activities are coming up next.
