About respite care

Before you shortlist a home

A home's listing tells you what the government publishes and what the home says about itself. It cannot tell you whether there is a room free or how it feels to live there. These guides cover the steps around choosing a home.

Common questions

How many aged care homes in New South Wales describe respite care on their website?
222 of the 861 aged care homes in New South Wales describe respite care on their own web page, as checked in October 2026. A further 86 are run by providers that mention it on a provider-wide page, which does not confirm it for that home.
If a home does not mention respite care, does that mean it does not offer it?
No. Many homes offer care they do not describe online, and some websites are out of date. Treat this list as a starting point and ask each home directly what it offers and whether it has a place.
How are the homes on this page ordered?
Alphabetically by suburb, then by name. To see homes by distance, search for a suburb or postcode or use homes near me. Payment never changes the order of results or which homes appear.
