A holiday, a work trip, surgery, or just a proper break. In-home respite keeps your person in their own bed, on their own routine, with a Quad Care worker who already knows how the mornings go. A night, a week or a fortnight.
Your person is looked after by a support worker they already know, usually someone from their regular roster, with the Woodford team on call around the clock.
Handover first: the routine, the meds, what he hates, what settles him.
Group at the hub. Thursday’s shop moved to today because it’s quieter.
Physio at Woodford, then fish and chips on the way home, because Wednesday.
Quiet day. The garden, the dog, a call to Mum so she stops worrying.
House tidy, notes written, handover ready for when the car pulls in.
What a normal day looks like for the people who hold the fort.
Respite is for the carer as much as the person. Most bookings start with one of these.
Parents, partners and adult children carrying the load every day, who need a proper rest.
A holiday, a wedding interstate or a work trip, when your person would rather stay home.
Surgery, illness or injury, when the usual carer needs to focus on their own recovery.
Autism, anxiety, sensory needs or complex support, where home is simply more settled.
A night, a week or a fortnight, with nothing changed for your person.
Respite works when nothing changes for your person. The same bed, the same routine, the same Thursday shop, with a worker they have already met.
Active or sleepover nights, a weekend, a week or a fortnight, in your home rather than a facility.
Sleep, meals, meds, school, therapy and the Thursday shop, kept exactly as they run.
Showers, dressing, mealtimes and medication, done the way your person is used to.
Appointments, work, group and the footy still happen. Our vans cover Moreton Bay and the Somerset.
A standing fortnightly shift or a monthly weekend, so carers get a break before they need one.
Carer in hospital, a family emergency, a bad week. Ring and we move fast.

“I am amazed how an organisation can consistently employ staff with such a heart for their clients. Nothing is a problem for them and after 2 visits they feel like family.”
“Tim has a lovely and encouraging and professional manner. All the staff are friendly and professional. They try to make time frames work.”
“Quad Care is very caring and supportive of your needs. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs their services. The staff are awesome.”
The best respite worker is one your person has met a dozen times. So we plan respite with your regular team where we can, do a proper handover, and keep anything clinical covered by trained staff while you’re away.
Respite workers are introduced in person before the first stay, ideally as part of the regular roster.
Routines, meds, triggers and the things that settle someone, written down and read.
Medication, PEG, catheter and bowel care, covered by staff trained and assessed for it.
A daily message if you want one, and a call the moment something is different.
Yes. Respite happens in your home, wherever home is. Overnights on acreage are normal for us.
Emergency? Ring us first. We sort the funding after.
Tell us the dates and what a good day is.
The worker meets your person at home.
Daily notes, and a call if anything changes.
Respite usually sits beside a regular roster. These are the usual companions.
Personal care, meals, housework and medication, from workers you choose and keep.
Shopping, appointments, footy and day trips, with someone beside you the whole way.
Dementia-trained workers, the same ones every week.
Support in your person’s own home while their usual carer is away or taking a break. Personal care, meals, meds, overnights, routines and community access, provided by a worker who has met them first.
STA is respite somewhere else, in a facility or a short-term house. In-home respite means your person stays in their own bed with their own routine and support comes to them. Under the NDIS the support side can still be funded, and your coordinator can confirm which fits your plan.
A single overnight through to a fortnight or longer. Regular planned respite, like a standing weekend a month, is common and often the most useful.
That’s the aim. Wherever possible respite is covered by your regular team, and anyone new is introduced in person before the stay.
We’re registered for high intensity supports, so PEG feeding, catheter and bowel care and mealtime management can all be covered, by staff trained and assessed for it.
A few weeks is ideal for a planned trip. For emergencies, ring and we move fast, even at short notice.
Yes. Some families book a weekend every month, others a week or two each year. Regular, planned respite is easier to staff and easier on everyone.
It can be, usually through Core Supports. We also work with Support at Home packages and private funding, so call and we’ll talk through your options.
Dates, the usual routine and where you’re is plenty to start. We’ll call to say what we can cover and who’d be there.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. On call around the clock for current clients. Find us on Google Maps →
