Respite

Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. At Diverge Supports, we provide Respite services in Adelaide to give both participants and carers the chance to rest, recharge, and return stronger.


During a short stay with us, your loved one receives safe, professional, and engaging support in a welcoming environment. This means carers can take a much-needed break with peace of mind, and participants enjoy new experiences, routines, and social connections.

What is Respite?

Short-Term Accommodation (STA), often called respite, is an NDIS-funded support that allows participants to stay away from their usual home for a short period of time.

This gives families and carers the chance to rest, while participants benefit from:

• Care from trained support staff

• A safe and supportive environment

• Opportunities to meet new people

• Enjoyable activities tailored to their abilities and interests

• Continuity of personal care and daily routines

How Diverge Supports Provides Respite

When your loved one spends time with us, they are supported in a way that feels comfortable, engaging, and dignified. We take time to understand their needs, routines, and interests so that their time is positive and meaningful.
