THE TREASURE TROVE
An old Italian proverb says:
'chi trova un amico, trova un tesoro'
Which means in English: 'One who finds a friend,
Finds a Treasure'.
Cosi's Respite centre took me in and went above and beyond to help me. Cosi herself and all the staff treated me with dignity, with kindness, with care and with more love than I could ever imagine. It was an honor to meet Cosi and her work colleagues and other participants with Disabilities like myself who needed a place to live until NDIS could help. Of course special mention must be made to Coast, Charlie, Noodle, Mia, Moo and last but not any means least, Doug, the best companion dogs in the world. Thank you for the best cuddles and Coast, I think you should be an official companion dog, you always knew if I was upset. Doug I will Not miss you crop dusting me, but I will miss your cuddles too.
I witnessed first hand the amount of blood sweat and tears this team go through to make sure everything and everyone is cared for. Hearing laughter and joy is infectious. Going to the Movies or out to lunch or just hanging watching Netflix while I was building LEGO. I must not forget to mention the wonderful homemade Italian food and best chicken cutlets in the world made Taryn aka Cosi. With Cosi's Italian heritage I felt like Garfield with an endless supply of Lasagna and Pasta.
We even had Karaoke Disco nights, with James being the best all rounder, although the night wouldn't be complete without a little Johnny.... Cash that is.
The Respite centre is equipped to handle care for high needs also participants and will make make every efforts to make you as comfortable as can be. I can not recommend this place enough. It has taken me ages to get to where I am now, and I have Cosi and her family to thank. I didn't just find a handful of friends, I stumbled upon a Treasure Trove of dedicated and Highly Trained Diamonds. Thank you, words just don't seem enough. Love you all.

What can I say? Cosi has been our daughter's SW for over 4 years and up until recently, respite would be in our home. Since Cosi's home has been modified, it's allowed us to mix it up a little and have our beautiful girl enjoy a change of scenery! Cosi has always been respectful of our daughter and her needs. We have no hesitation in having our girl spend time at Cosi's Respite

I recently had the pleasure of getting to know Cosi as my brother stayed with her. He went to her in quite a fragile state and with her dedication and caring nature he regained some weight and looked generally better overall. Cosi went above and beyond for him and it was very comforting to know he was in her very capable hands. I highly recommend her as she is amazing.

Cosi is absolutely one of a kind!
Our son has been having respite with Cosi and her wonderful team. Our young man has been welcomed into Cosi’s warm and loving home, he feels safe and relaxed during his stays. We will only engage with Cosi for all our future supports.
We never thought we could entrust anyone to care for our son with over night stays but we truly trust and love Cosi’s approach and the love she puts into helping him.
Thanks a million Cosi we are forever thankful.
If your thinking about respite do yourself a favour and contact Cosi!

Our daughter has just had the most amazing weekend with Cosi. She has never been away from us for that long before but Cosi kept us updated with pics and messages and helped us feel at ease. Our daughter had the best time with yummy food and fun activities and we will definitely be booking her in again for more fun and adventures. We feel very lucky to have found Cosi’s Respite. Woo hoo!
