About the Family Resource & Respite Centre
The Family Resource & Respite Centre is a non-clinical area of the hospital provided for families and caregivers of inpatients and outpatients. It provides a quiet, friendly, relaxing area for families within the hospital, but away from the busy noise and stress of the clinical hospital environment.
At the Family Resource & Respite Centre you can:
-
prepare a snack or have a cuppa
-
access resources and information
-
come in and enjoy some time out
-
recharge your mobile or store your luggage
The Centre has been a major link in the hospital's provision of child focussed and family centred care since 2003.
The concept and provision of the facilities in the Family R & R Centre is parent driven with input constantly sought from consumers. Families are encouraged to be independent in their use of the Centre’s facilities. Your comments and feedback are always welcome.
The day-to-day running of the Centre is very much dependent on volunteers and their contribution to the Centre is acknowledged and appreciated.
The Family R & R Centre is closely linked to and incorporates some resource functions of RCH Shop & Kids Health Info, the RCH Safety Centre, the Social Work Department and the RCH Education Institute.
