Short Term Respite (STR)
A Safe and Supportive Break
Short Term Respite at Territory True provides a temporary change of environment where people can feel safe, settled and well supported. Our respite homes in Durack offer a calm, familiar setting staffed by trained workers who understand individual routines, health needs and communication styles. STR is designed to give participants a stable place to stay while giving families and carers planned time to rest.
Support That Keeps Routines Steady
During a respite stay, our focus is on maintaining the person’s usual routines and supporting them in ways that feel comfortable and predictable. This includes personal care, daily living assistance and the practical support needed to help someone feel at ease in their temporary home. For many people who have complex or individual needs, keeping things consistent is what makes respite positive, safe and manageable.
Flexible, Person-Centred Stays
Every respite stay is shaped around the person and what helps them feel secure, valued and comfortable. We take the time to understand each individual’s preferences, sensory needs and communication style so support is delivered in a way that reduces stress and promotes wellbeing. Our approach is grounded in dignity, choice and responsiveness, ensuring that each stay is positive and tailored to the person’s needs.
