While CPA still mostly provides the same service under the “Short Term Accommodation” heading as it did under the “Respite” heading, several of our service objectives have changed.
In the past, respite care emphasized the break that the main caregiver received as a result of the stay.The emphasis now is on the advantages of staying in short-term housing for a person with a disability.
Our programs and employees are knowledgeable and well-equipped to serve persons with vulnerable health due to our long history of serving people with Cerebral Palsy.
Additionally, our organization has inherited a number of former Family and Community Programs (FACS)/Ageing, Disability & Home Care (ADHC) services, making it well-suited to work with clients who require more specialized care and challenging behavior.
The major objectives of a stay in short-term accommodation for the people who utilize CPA’s service include improving life skills, gaining independence, reaching NDIS plan goals, and meeting new peers with similar interests.
