What are Short-term Stays or respite care?
Sometimes a caregiver is the one who one needs temporary assistance. For example, a much-needed family vacation, or out-of-town business trip that may not have been feasible, can now be accommodated, thanks to this unique, but growing service. Respite care is typically designed for stays of a week to several months.Respite care programs are often available at senior living communities. "Visiting" seniors are welcomed into the community and included in all activities. Often, the senior enjoys the experience and decides to move in permanently. Services to expect:
- Furnished, private apartments
- Full meal plan
- Personal care assistance
- Daily activities and social events
- Housekeeping
- Transportation to local venues
