We currently offer short term stays at all of our six communities; Bribie Island, Caloundra, Kallangur, Mango Hill, Waterford West and Sinnamon Park.

Our short term stay apartments have a minimum stay of three days. Our average length of stay ranges from about 1-2 weeks, but we are happy to discuss any term of stay on a case by case basis. 

The cost for care will vary depending on your personal needs and length of stay, as assessed by Envigor, our Care Partner. Please contact us for details.

You don’t need an ACAT assessment to stay in short term care at Seasons. All short term residents undergo a care assessment prior to their stay. The care assessment is conducted by Envigor staff from your chosen community. This is to ensure care levels are accurate and that we can tailor care to suit your individual needs and preferences.

Seasons personal and nursing care is delivered by our care partner Envigor – an approved home care, DVA Nursing and NDIS provider, specialising in older clients. Established in 2012, Envigor provides care in our communities, plus a variety of other retirement villages and in clients’ suburban homes across Queensland. There’s the peace of mind that hourly staffing levels are set in response to care needs, day and night.

Seasons Short Term Stays are not funded through a government respite program. Our short term care offering was developed because we recognised that a lot of people who require respite have difficulty getting access to this service in a timely manner. The government respite program sets a 35 day per year limit on respite services in residential aged care services. Because the Seasons respite program is provided independent of the government funding constraints, people can receive more days of respite or short term care. If you receive a Home Care Package and there are funds available in your contingency allowance, it may be possible to use some of these funds to pay for the short term/respite care.
