What our clients say...

I love coming to Club Respite each day for the entertainers, care workers and of course, the people.
I am very grateful to be able to continue to live independently at home with the support of Burnie Brae.

I look forward eagerly to my Thursday visit to Club Respite for craft with Deb and talking to my friends there and the lovely staff of carers who work tirelessly.

I have only been at Burnie Brae for a year and they are the most caring and helping people I've ever met. I just love coming to respite, thank you staff, I think you're great!

Kay

Thank you for the help you gave to my late father. As he developed dementia, we were very grateful to have a safe place to take him.

Robyn

Highly recommend people giving Day Respite a go. My husband goes every Friday, has for years. He really enjoys it and has made some great friends and so enjoys all the different activities they provide.

Christine

It’s a fun time. I love being around people and interacting, and the people here are really lovely. It’s good to be around people who are different to you
