Our Services

Respite Care

Respite care is a service where we take care of an individual.
Respite care was designed to give carers a break and a chance to look after themselves too. Carers do an amazing job at looking after their loved ones, but we also acknowledge that carers need a break to rest and recharge also. At Kindness Kare we want to provide carers with the opportunity for rejuvenation. Through this, it acts as both a benefit to you and your child/family member or friend. As carers can come back ready to care the best they can. For as little as a few hours or as long as multiple days and nights, this service can provide…

• A time for families to rest, recharge and look after themselves

• An opportunity for your child to interact with people outside of their own family

• Assistance for your child with developing new skills and gaining independence

• A time for your child to gain independence

Palliative Care

Palliative care is supporting and caring for a person who has a serious illness that cannot be cured.

This can look different for everyone, therefore we provide a wide range of support which may include

• Relief of pain + symptoms through non pharmaceutical measures

• Support and assistance for not just the person but their family

• Emotional, social and spiritual assistance

• Grief support and counselling advice

• Respite care

Daily Life Skills

One of our most loved services is helping our clients to improve their daily life skills. Some of the many benefits from this is the individual develops confidence, independence, resilience and overall an improved quality of life. Some of these daily life skills we can work with your child to achieve include:

• Enjoying the outdoors, to support health and wellbeing

• Making time for hobbies and activities that are both fun and promote learning and engagement

Social interaction is an important part of enriching our clients lives.
