What is Respite?

Another option we offer is temporary, short-term housing when:

Families/caregivers go out of town.
Elderly want to “winter” with us then return home in the spring.
Recuperating from simple or minor surgery – with minimal lifting needed.

Why is respite important?
Reduces stress in families.
Supports the elderly who don’t feel safe at home in the winter.
Enhances recovery of ill and post-op patients.
Enhances family coping abilities and reduces depression and anxiety.
Increases feelings of security.
Reduces permanent out-of-home placement.
