Short Term Care

In the United States, there are approximately 50 million people who care for a senior loved one at home. The daily task of providing that care can be overwhelming for the caregiver and a break is sometimes needed to take care of their own needs. Short-term or respite stays provide temporary housing and care in a retirement community, bringing relief to those who are caring for family members that might otherwise require permanent placement outside the home. Short-term stays provide a much needed break from the physical demands, stress, and challenges faced by the family caregiver. Short-term stays are an option for family caregivers that go away on a business trip or vacation, by providing their loved ones with a safe environment while they are away. They are also a great alternative to skilled nursing by providing that additional assistance for seniors recuperating from a recent hospital stay or illness.

Studies have shown that time away from the caregiving of a loved one can reset the relationship, giving both the caregiver and recipient a new appreciation for one another. Respite has been known to help sustain a family caregiver's health and mental well-being. Family members are also finding that repeated short-term stays at a chosen community are the ideal way to transition seniors into an eventual long-term living arrangement.
