Caring for someone with health issues, mobility issues, or memory issues can be incredibly taxing on family and other caregivers. It’s emotionally and physically exhausting, and sometimes caregivers need a break. There is no shame in needing rest and alone time. Sometimes caregivers need to travel out of town and are unable to take their loved one with them. Respite care offers support for those caregivers. Respite Care residents are able to stay with us from 1-14 days while their caregivers attend to other responsibilities, or simply get a break. While in respite care, their family member will be cared for just like any of our other residents. All care and meals will be provided, and the health and safety of their family member will be ensured.
