Winner: 2022 Trusted Brand Aged Care & Retirement Villages
Respite care at Rita Angus provides temporary care in a range of circumstances. You may need some rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or perhaps a little extra support – whether it’s for a single night or a few weeks.
If you still live in your own home, a short stay at our care centre could be a welcome break from your usual routine. You could even stay with us in our day care programme where you can enjoy meals and activities during the day. Plus, did you know that you can receive respite care in the comfort of an assisted-living apartment.
As a Ryman village, we've won the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand: Aged Care and Retirement Villages award eight times. And we’ve been awarded the gold medal seven times in the Reader’s Digest Quality Service award.
A huge point of difference for Ryman care residents is the feeling of connection they experience. Activities and events are all there for you to take part in when you feel like it.
If you've been thinking about moving to Rita Angus, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our village before making your decision.
