Respite bookings
Bear Cottage offers both planned and emergency respite offering short-term breaks. Respite stays can be accompanied or unaccompanied.
Respite care bookings are made dependent on bed availability and individual circumstances.

Book a bed by phoning the Nursing Unit Manager on (02) 9976 8300.
Your child's respite visit might be rescheduled if a bed is needed for end-of-life care or an emergency.
While these situations are unpredictable, we will try our best to minimise any inconvenience.
If this happens, we’ll let you know and arrange a new time for your child's stay.
