Carer Relationships
ANFE Community Care's Carer Relationships program aims to support and maintain relationships between carers and consumers by offering high quality respite services, allowing carers to take a break from their usual caring role.
​The service is aimed at frail older consumers who receive Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) services.
These consumerswill be offered planned respite, providing carers with a break from their usual caring duties.
​
There are many models of respite care that carers use to support CHSP consumers.
Carers are often employed, in training or studying and it is difficult to maintain
a work-life balance.
​
ANFE Community Care gives consideration to these possibilities and offers to provide respite services outside of standard operating hours to assist carers to balance work, study and caring responsibilities.
Centre-based respite provides structured group activities to consumers to develop,maintain or support independent living and social interaction conducted in a community setting.
​
Community access group provides small group day outings to give consumers a social experience and offer respite to their carer.

​
ANFE Community Care structures its services in such a way that allows them to be as responsive as possible to requests from carers for
short-term or
non-ongoing respite.
