I became, in my own mind, part of this family. And they've looked after me with all my needs and it's made me very happy.

If you're looking for long term respite care facility, either for yourself or a loved one, don't settle for second best. Find a team that can provide qualified, dedicated help, from people who really care.
At MACG, we have a long history of providing exemplary long term respite care. With 9 locations across Victoria, we're sure to have a long term respite home near you.
Have any questions? Our team will be happy to answer them.
At MACG, we offer both long term care, and shorter respite stays. Long term respite care is a midpoint between the two; it's more than just a few days, but with an endpoint in mind. It's perfect for if a regular carer is going to be indisposed for a few weeks — recovering from an injury, perhaps, or heading abroad.
Long term respite care is available for older Australians in our homes, which are located right across Victoria. We provide quality care, meals cooked on site, and social and lifestyle activities, and much more.
Friendly environments to make you feel at home
Social activities that are fulfilling and engaging
Great professional care, tailored to your needs
Fewer beds, fostering a community atmosphere
For our permanent residents, we provide the place that they call home. But we've worked hard so that even our respite visitors will feel at home during their stay. There's a warm community atmosphere in our homes, with engaging activities and friendly staff, and those who are here on respite care are free to enjoy everything available to our permanent residents. Additionally, we encourage people to bring some personal belongings from their homes, to help them settle in.
There are many lifestyle programs and activities on offer at our MACG homes. There's so much to do, and so many opportunities to participate. Examples of activities that are regularly on offer include:
All of our residential communities are partnered with local charitable organisations. Additionally, there are more charities that we partner with across all of our locations. People joining us for long term respite have many opportunities to take part in community life, such as:
