The reason for its outstanding reputation is down to the friendly homelike environment created by the staff and the residents. It is also because of the dedication of the care team to provide the very best care, by liaising with allied health professionals and doctors to ensure that residents see out their days in comfort at Merton Court.

Merton Court is now offering respite care to our elder community. Merton Court receives numerous requests for respite every year, so it was difficult to turn people away, particularly when there are empty beds available. That ends now!

Merton Court can provide both low- and high-level respite care for up to three weeks at a time. Respite care supports you and your carer by giving you both a break for a short period of time.

It is also an opportunity to see if you are ready for permanent residential care. Residential respite is best suited if you need ongoing, continuous carer support for most tasks.

During your respite stay at Merton Court, you will be entitled to the same care and support services as permanent residents.

For instance, you will be given a room and hotel-type services such as meals, laundry and social activities, as well as services to meet your personal and care needs.

While living at Merton Court, staff try to ensure that residents live their best life, by not only providing quality care, but quality activities too. Outings, stimulating activities, active activities, as well as special theme event days and weeks!

Denman is only a short 20-minute drive from Muswellbrook, and previous residents have found it was well and truly worth the move to Merton Court Denman. Quality over convenience every time!

Both permanent and respite beds are available now, and Merton Court is accepting bookings for November and December.

If you are eligible for respite care and would like to make a booking, please contact Merton Living on 6547 2684 or Merton Court on 6547 1012. Or visit www.mertonliving.org.au to find out more information.
