Seniors Respite
Seniors respite care gives older people the opportunity to take a break from their usual routine, enjoy new experiences and connect with others, while giving carers valuable time to rest and recharge.
A little time for yourself can make a big difference
At genU, our respite care services are designed around you. Whether you need day respite or overnight respite, we provide a safe, welcoming environment where you can relax, stay active and enjoy doing the things you love.
We offer seniors respite in Ocean Grove at The Lodge, with flexible options to suit your needs, interests and circumstances.
The Lodge, Ocean Grove
Set among spacious gardens in Ocean Grove, The Lodge is a welcoming place to spend the day or stay overnight.
Our comfortable cottages provide a relaxed home away from home, with plenty of space to unwind, enjoy the gardens and connect with others.
Our centre-based day respite program offers a range of activities that encourage social connection, independence and enjoyment. Activities can be tailored to your interests, whether you enjoy getting creative, playing games, having a chat, getting out and about or simply spending time with others.
Centre-based day respite is currently available Tuesday to Thursday.

Respite can be good for everyone
Taking a break from your usual routine can be a positive experience for you and your carer.
Respite can give you the opportunity to:
- enjoy new experiences and activities
- meet new people and maintain social connections
- spend time in a welcoming and supportive environment
- maintain your independence and confidence
- give your carer some well-deserved time for themselves.
For carers, respite can provide valuable time to rest, attend appointments, catch up with family and friends, or simply have some time to themselves – knowing their loved one is being supported.
Support for Carers
Caring for someone you love can be incredibly rewarding, but everyone needs a break sometimes.
Our Support for Carers team can help you understand your options, plan for respite and connect you with other services and supports when you need them.
We can provide access to aged care respite coordinators and nurses for care planning, counselling and referrals, as well as opportunities to connect with other carers through events and gatherings.
