8.30am - 5.00pm
Joyland Carers Retreat is a specifically designed and built unique carers retreat in Korora Coffs Harbour, located within a short 300m stroll to the beach. We offer carers the opportunity to relax, rejuvenate and be nurtured themselves.
Carers are usually the last ones to take care of themselves before others, whereby their health and wellbeing is severely marginalised and often suffer carer burnout, sleep deprivation, depression and psychological issues. Here at Joyland we offer delicious home cooked meals with morning and afternoon tea delights. Carers can muse the day in a beautiful scenic spot within the rose filled gardens, relax with a book from the library, sleep in, watch a dvd, or soak in a French tub filled with bubbles. Additionally, Ellen has a specialised private and confidential counselling practice within the premises that is available to the general public and carers. Carers are able to refer themselves or through their Service Provider.
As most carers struggle on Centrelink payments, as a Not for Profit Joyland Carers Retreat hosts fundraising events to provide funding for unfinancial carers to have respite. Our annual event "Winter Delight" Ladies High Tea is conducted in June with other events organised in April and July.
