Short-Term Accomodation & Respite

At Empowering You Disability Services, we understand the importance of taking a break from the demands of everyday life—both for individuals with disabilities and their caregivers. Our Short Term Accommodation (STA) and Respite services are designed to provide a temporary break while offering opportunities for personal growth, skill development and social engagement.


Whether you're looking to explore new experiences, participate in fun activities, or simply recharge away from the daily routine, our STA services offer a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where you can relax, learn and have fun. We also provide peace of mind to caregivers, knowing that their loved ones are receiving the care and attention they need.

The Benefits of Short-Term Accomodation & Respite

Our Short Term Accommodation services are designed to provide you with a break from routine while offering a range of benefits, including:

  • Skill Development: STA provides the opportunity to learn new skills, from daily living tasks to social and communication skills, in a supportive environment.
  • Social Engagement: Participate in group activities, meet new people, and build friendships in a social setting that fosters connection and community.
  • Break from Routine: A change of environment can offer a refreshing break from the usual day-to-day tasks and responsibilities, helping to reduce stress and promote well-being.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making: Being in a new environment encourages participants to make their own decisions, fostering greater independence and confidence.
  • Trying New Activities: STA opens the door to trying activities and experiences you might not usually have the chance to explore, from creative workshops to outdoor adventures.
  • Confidence Building: Through new experiences and interactions, participants can build self-esteem and confidence, strengthening their sense of independence.
  • Fostering Friendships: STA provides the chance to form new relationships, connect with others, and experience the joys of socialising in a safe and welcoming environment.

Respite for Caregivers

Our STA and Respite services also offer invaluable support for caregivers. Taking a break from the ongoing care responsibilities is essential for caregivers to recharge, reduce burnout, and maintain their own well-being. With Empowering You Disability Services, caregivers can rest easy, knowing that their loved one is in good hands, receiving 24/7 support in a safe, caring environment.
