“When my mom needed a little extra support after her hospital stay, we weren’t sure what to expect. The respite stay at Westminster Place was a blessing for both of us. She received the care and attention she needed, while I had peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and surrounded by people who truly cared. The staff welcomed her like family, and she enjoyed the activities and meals so much that she didn’t want to leave! Respite care gave us time to catch our breath and reminded us that we’re not alone in this journey.”

Frequently Asked Questions about Senior Respite Care

Respite Care is a short-term stay with support provided. Respite stays are often hosted at senior living communities, which are specially designed to keep seniors safe and cared for.

These stays can be short or long, depending on the caregiver’s or senior’s needs. For instance, a caregiver might:

• Need time to rest and refresh
• Require time to take care of their own home or mental health
• Have an upcoming vacation or trip
• Need time to focus on their family

Or, it is also possible their loved one would simply enjoy additional professional support and the benefits of Respite Care.
