Christmas Respite Care at Robina Private Hospital
As the holiday season approaches, many carers face a familiar challenge: how to take a well-earned break while ensuring their loved one receives the care they need. At Robina Private Hospital, we understand the importance of rest — not just for those in recovery, but also for the carers who support them year-round.
That’s why we’re open this Christmas, offering short-term respite care in a safe, supportive environment. Whether you’re planning a holiday, need time to recharge, or simply want peace of mind, our team is here to help.
Why Choose Robina for Respite Care?
Our respite care program provides:
- 24/7 nursing support from experienced staff
- Comfortable private and shared room options
- Nutritious meals prepared daily
- Access to allied health services for holistic support
- Flexible self-funded options to suit your needs
- No referral or ACAT assessment required
It’s not too early to start planning ahead — spaces are limited over the holiday period, and early booking ensures peace of mind for both carers and their loved ones.
Why care over the holiday season matters
The holiday season can amplify stressors—family dynamics, financial pressures, loneliness, or grief. Our programs are designed to help individuals build resilience, strengthen coping strategies, and feel supported during this period. By focusing on practical skills like self-compassion, boundaries, and communication, participants can navigate Christmas with greater confidence and wellbeing.
