My father has been attending the Byron Shire Respite Service day programme at the centre for over two years now.

The staff are not only supportive of him, but also of me in my role as carer, offering advice and support with warmth and no judgement. Such a valuable service for families navigating dementia.

My mother and father in law attend respite care at the Brunswick Community Centre up to 3 times a week. They travel from their home at Ballina on a community bus and the whole experience is very positive. The activities they participate in vary from music and exercise to games and puzzles. The staff are warm, caring and communicate very well.
