Since Jo was diagnosed with Alzheimerโ€™s in 2024, life has changed in quiet ways for him and his partner, Ann โ€” but one thing hasnโ€™t: โ€˜He is still my Jo.โ€™

With weekly overnight respite at Resthavenโ€™s Aldinga cottage, Jo enjoys connection, activities and new friendships (he even calls it โ€œHeavenโ€), while Ann gets something just as important โ€” time to recharge as his carer. โ€˜Itโ€™s a win-win situation,โ€™ Ann says.

Respite is helping them keep moving forward, together.
