Every now and then your carer may need a night off. Whether it is to get a good night’s sleep or for another reason, CRT Program offers options.
Night Riders is a new service offered by CRT Program to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants. It is a much-needed flexible, after-hours respite service no one has ever offered before.
It is only available after hours from between 8 pm to 8 am. You can either have one of our experienced staff visit you at home or stay in one of our serviced accommodation units across Sydney.
Our staff can call in to help you at home for a minimum of 2 hours for up to 12 hours overnight. You have the option to book for a drop-in slot between 2 slots of 12 hours each, either between 8 am to 8 pm, or between 8 pm to 8 am. They can help you with anything you need—medications, getting ready for bed and being there for you during the night. This allows you to stay in the comfort of your home while giving your carer the night off.
This new program means you do not need to stay in residential accommodation to get the overnight care you need. Residential respite care is usually for a minimum of 24 hours even if you do not need it for that long. CRT Program gives you options. You can book respite care for shorter periods of time. We understand that you have a set NDIS budget, so this is an opportunity to maximise value for money. There is no point in paying for 24 hours respite when you only need between 2 and 12 hours of respite care at night.
You may even avoid after-hours respite care because of the cost. Now CRT Program offers affordable options.
We also offer flexible after-hours overnight residential respite care in our accommodation. Stay with us between 8 pm to 8 am the next morning and our staff will take you home in the morning. This service is a minimum of 12 hours, but we are available 24 hours round the clock. It is another option to allow your carer to take a night off while you get the care you need.
We provide accommodation to suit your needs, One-on-one short-term care where you are paired up with a support worker that suits your particular needs, or Group short-term options that match your needs with other people who may have similar needs and interests and enjoy participating in a group respite activity. Both options are available 24 hours a day. Our locations are throughout NSW, and we do offer pick-up and drop services. You can choose a location according to your convenience at Westmead, Granville, Merrylands, Mount Druitt or Peakhurst.
