Respite Care
The Relief You Need, When You Need It
Caretakers, you and the older adult you support deserve to have self-care. That’s why Civitas Senior Living offers a respite program.
Our respite care program is ideal for seniors who need extra support in their transition from hospital to home or for those who are lonely, isolated, and needing to engage with others more.
It also provides a much-needed break for caregivers. With Civitas’ respite program, caregivers can look after their own needs with the peace of mind that their loved one is well cared for. Our respite care guests enjoy robust programming and meaningful social interaction in a new setting, which can boost self-esteem and independence.
Passionate service. Passionate cleanliness. Passionate care.
Respite Care
Short-Term Stay
Respite stays are short-term, overnight stays lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Respite care in a senior living community is ideal for seniors who may not be ready to return home after a hospital stay.*
Guests enjoy all services and amenities of our community, such as:
- Three meals per day and snacks (including those that accommodate special diets)
- Assistance with personal care such as bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, and incontinence care
- Medication management
- Housekeeping and laundry services
- Transportation to outings and medical appointments
- Engaging programming and educational activities
Our teams coordinate with physicians for health concerns and home health agencies to provide on-site physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Respite stays can also serve as a much-needed break for caregivers. By taking time to look after their own needs, including health, exercise, and social interactions, they can look after their loved one to the best of their ability and give their loved one the care that is needed.
*Respite stays are based on community availability. Stays are purchased in advance and are defined by a minimum and maximum number of days allowed per stay. The cost per day is a prorated amount calculated from the individual community’s apartment rental and service fees. Care services associated with the stay may also apply. No community fee is required for respite stays. Costs related to respite care are not covered by insurance or Medicare. Fees are payable to the community.
