But thanks to our Respite program, it doesn’t have to be a 24/7 job. Our team of experienced professionals will make you feel safe and confident putting your loved one in our care…so you can take time to care for yourself. During their stay, our guests will enjoy new activities, learn new skills, and have fun spending time outdoors with friends! All while having their medical and physical needs met, with the help of our direct support professionals and nursing staff.
Feel refreshed, confident, and like yourself again. Once you fill your cup, you’ll be ready to return to compassionately caring for your loved ones.
Meanwhile, they’ll be…
-
Discovering new ways to express themselves through art, music and other creative outlets.
-
Exercising.
-
Receiving nutrition counseling and medication management.
-
Acquiring important social skills.
-
Taking trips to restaurants, museums, movies, libraries, parks, swimming pools, bowling alleys and so much more!
