What is Respite Care? Respite care is a temporary (short-term) stay at a senior living community.

Why Respite Care?
Respite care is often suggested for seniors who are recovering from a hospital visit, fall, surgery or other health circumstance, but is also available for caregiver vacations, business travel and/or just a personal break from daily care routine. A Respite Stay is also an ideal trial period for both the caregiver and the loved one to evaluate if our community is the right place to call home long-term.
