Respite
Short-Term Stays for Peace of Mind
At StoneBridge, we care for caregivers, too. Respite Care offers temporary assistance for loved ones when a family caregiver is traveling, attending to personal responsibilities or simply needs some time to rest and restore.
Guests can stay for up to 30 days and receive the same thoughtful attention, 24-hour support, meals, activities and personalized care our residents enjoy every day. It’s also a helpful option for families considering assisted living and wanting to experience the StoneBridge community firsthand.
Why Try Respite Care?
If you’re new to the idea of respite care, we encourage you to consider its many upsides. Assisted Living is a wonderful benefit for both seniors and their families, taking worry and stress off the table so that everyone can enjoy their time together.
Travel Peace of Mind
When caregivers travel, finding care for a loved one can be a worrisome task. Here, we surround your senior with professional services and daily care, along with plenty of fun and friendship, for up to 30 days.
Social Interaction
As your loved one ages, their personal life may not be what it once was.. Here they can enjoy socializing with their peers and participating in fun activities in a safe and comforting environment.
Caregiver Mental Health
We believe you’re at your best when you’re able to take care of yourself, too. A much-needed break, even one day a month, can help caregivers feel stronger and more clear-headed.
Gentle Test Drive
Respite care can serve as a try-before-you-buy experience to soften the transition to assisted living and make the decision less scary. Many of our guests return home excited for what their new life will look like.
Current residents and staff, please call or submit the form on the contact us page.
