Aged Care Respite Centre
Hadden Place
Join us for just a few hours, a full day or overnight!
The only dedicated day and overnight respite centre in Brisbane’s west, where your loved one is cared for in a safe, welcoming environment, so you can take a break knowing they’re in good hands.
Respite care you can trust
Hadden Place is a specialised day and overnight respite centre, offering a safe, secure, and welcoming environment where each guest is well cared for.
With experienced carers, a wide range of engaging activities, and support tailored to individual needs, Hadden Place delivers truly personalised care.
Located in the modern Dovetree building at Sinnamon Village and overlooking peaceful bushland, it provides a tranquil setting where guests can feel right at home.
It's okay not to be okay. It's okay to seek help and that's what we're here for. Respite is key to taking care of yourself because whilst your loved one is here being cared for by Haden Place staff, you can go out and care for yourself even if it's just to sit in the sun and read a book.
A typical day group is our staff leave around 8:30 to go out in our little mini bus to pick people up from their home. Bring them back. When they arrive, they have some morning tea. Then they do some activities. Pre-planned activities or just plan on the spot.
I leave my door open because I love hearing the laughter, the chatter, the music and the fun. Just knowing that we here at Hadden Place are making such a difference in people's lives.
