'NOTICE: (OCTOBER 2017) Sorry to say that our website is still recuperating from the exceptionally cold Melbourne winter blues it had been suffering.The progress of the upgrade has been delayed but we're happy to say that we'll be able to share some exciting news with you when it finally has recovered and is all better - hopefully by the end of December. We think you'll agree that the revised Respite Now logo in the top left of each page is a nice start and one which we've received a heap of positive feedback of late - thanks all.  When the site is all better after its major operation we'll be asking that you come back for a visit. Can we rely on you to come back and see us? Bring flowers but no candy or chocolates please.

CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTINA - Another milestone to your professional and personal development

Picture
ABOVE: CHRSITINA (before graduating) Thanks for being such a great team member Christina.
There's never been a better time to need nursing or personal care in Melbourne.
Melbourne seniors, NDIS participants & those on Work Cover or TAC claims are in good hands. 
The management and all the team at Respite Now would like to congratulate Christina on recently being awarded her EEN Nursing qualification which she has been working toward over recent years at Box Hill Institute. We are delighted to have been along on part of the journey with her. Christina has been working for Respite Now for nearly 12 months; starting as a Personal Care Assistant after completing the aged-care component of her studies and as her  academic credentials grew, along with her can-do attitude and professional approach to customer care she quickly reached several employment milestones and was promoted to Personal Care Associate.
​
Christina seems to be one of those lucky young people who discovered their vocational goals early in life as her previous experience working as a teacher’s assistant at Waratah Special Development School and an ice-skating instructor show her eagerness and ability to care for and support others. Earlier in her nursing training she aspired to furthering her studies and becoming a midwife or theatre nurse but her experiences at Respite Now is opening up doors that may see her considering to remain in the age & disability care sector. We hope so, that's for sure!

Thank you Chrsitina for all the hard work you do caring for our clients. I know they would be with us as we clap hands, whistle and say, "CONGRATS CHRISTINA". You are a wonderful team member and we look forward to seeing you not only continue to develop but to be a part of the ongoing development of Respite Now. 
If the care you or a loved one needs also requires nursing attention, get in touch and we can book a meeting.

​ABOVE: Cooking Now. Like all things necessary, cooking
can become a chore. Liven up your diet and eat well by
having a Respite Now personal carer (cooking specialist)
prepare some meals for you for the week ahead.
ABOVE: Swimming Now. Also on the task list is the garden. It needs lawns mowed, garden weeded and a general tidy up so it's always in good condition and ready to enjoy with friends and family. Respite Now 's carers provide a broad range of assistance to clients. From taking a visually impaired man swimming and slippery slide rides, ​to amazing our clients with not only personal care, shopping and meal preparation but other things that pop up from time to time. In addition to the task list, carers often report to us other aspects of our client's home that may require attention.
