Cholmondeley’s respite care service is designed to best support Canterbury tamariki between the ages of five and 12. However, it can also support independent tamariki aged three or four if they are accompanied by an older sibling.
The respite care service gives tamariki the chance to be tamariki, in a safe learning and play environment set up to feel like a home away from home. After a tamariki has completed the referral process outlined below, they can be booked to stay at Cholmondeley every six to eight weeks, for up to three nights at a time. Every tamariki is different, and the frequency and length of their stay are tailored to their needs.
Regular planned stays every six to eight weeks are common, though Cholmondeley can also respond quickly to welcome a tamariki already on its books in an emergency situation.
Cholmondeley’s usual respite program takes two intakes per week – one from Monday to Thursday and the second from Thursday to Sunday. During this time, tamariki may stay for one, two, or three nights. Cholmondeley accepts referrals from any whānau, agencies or caregivers who may need support. This means anyone can get in touch to see if Cholmondeley is the right fit for their tamariki.

Acute services
Sometimes tāngata whai ora need additional support if their distress becomes too great. This is when we offer our respite or acute care services.
At Pathways’ our acute care and respite services offer welcoming, home-like environments where people can have a short break when they need to rest and focus completely on their wellbeing. Supportive staff are on hand to help to get them back on their feet.
Some use our respite care services as a planned break away when they’re struggling with life at home, or as a place to go instead of an inpatient hospital. How long tāngata whai ora stay varies depending on their own personal needs. Usually it’s just a few days, but at some of our services people may stay for a few weeks.
