About TimeOut
Provide the terminally ill and their immediate families a break with a small cost.
When people are terminally ill, the family life revolves around the illness. It is difficult to escape the illness, with bills to pay, medicines around the house. TimeOut, away from home gives the family an opportunity to come closer together, allowing a lot of the stresses and pressures to be put aside for a short time.
Families are strengthened by knowing others care about them enough to give them some practical help and support. Often a lot of the support offered at this time is medical and directed at the terminally ill person. TimeOut centers on the entire family.
Every year, more than 24,000 people & their families experience terminal illness in NZ

What about insurance?
If you don’t usually rent out your holiday home then your insurance for a residential home may exclude cover for damage by guests. We recommend that you check your policy and get advice from your insurer or insurance broker about your coverage.
We recommend you get advice before signing up with Timeout as clause 4.1(d) of our terms and conditions for providers says you acknowledge that the property is adequately insured for use by the recipient.
