Care services
Cowra Retirement Village offers both respite and permanent residential care.
Respite care
Short-term care for up to 63 days per financial year at a reduced, government-subsidised rate. Respite is there when your carer is unable to look after you at home for a while, or simply needs a break. We take care of you so you can rest and recover, and your carer can take a holiday too.
Permanent care
If you are unable to care for yourself or be cared for at home, we offer long-term permanent care. We help take the burdens of everyday living away so you can relax and rest, in a comfortable and safe environment you can call home.
Getting assessed
To be eligible for either type of care you need an assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). If you have not already been assessed, you or your nominated representative can call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or visit the My Aged Care website. My Aged Care staff will ask about your current needs and circumstances so they can refer you for an assessment.
