Yes, Oryx residential homes offer respite care.

Respite care offers residents the opportunity to gently rebuild the body and spirits in private, comfortable surroundings. While many people assume respite care is about giving a carer time off, the opposite is often the case. Respite gives the resident a chance to recuperate with specialised nursing support, a nutritionally balanced diet and access to services that boost health outcomes.

Respite residents at Oryx homes enjoy a private bedroom and ensuite, access to small communal living areas, a variety of activities, rehabilitation with onsite Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists

Respite stays vary in duration, from as little as two weeks.

Yes, clinical & care teams at Oryx homes include memory support specialists who provide care and support for residents living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

All Oryx homes offer a range of private suites and rooms to suite a variety of budgets; including some of Australia’s most spacious aged care accommodation options.

Our rooms and suites are designed to meet residents’ varying needs for space and accessibility, and a small number of two-bedroom options are available for couples.
