STA at uCare iCare

There is no place like a uCare iCare home for a short term stay which gives you an opportunity to meet new people, try new things and opportunity to get some rest and relaxation whilst also allowing your carers to have a break from their caring role too.

You can stay for a day, overnight or for a weekend or longer, it’s up to you.

We have a number of activities that may interest you like going to a movie, going out for dinner, going to the beach or playing your favourite sport. We can let you know about local activities in your area as well that you may like to participate in.
