Respite Care



Being a round-the-clock caregiver for someone can be overwhelming for anyone. It’s hard to find time to run errands, rest, or attend to other personal and social needs. Studies show that full-time caregivers are at risk for depression and declining health when personal needs are unmet for too long.

Caregivers who need a break can select respite care at The Cove or the Willows, depending on what is needed. This break can help preserve the primary caregiver’s emotional, mental, and physical health.

The same services are available for short-term rehabilitation and respite care residents as those that are available for long-stay residents. These include:

  • Music, exercise, and interactive programs
  • Aromatherapy, pet therapy, and horticulture (gardening) therapy
  • Coordination of medical and laboratory services, including on-site visiting lab and x-ray
  • On-site podiatry, psychiatric, and dental services
  • Nursing assessment and RN oversight
  • Blood pressure, vital signs, nutrition, and weight monitoring
  • Medication administration
  • Assistance with personal hygiene, nail care, and beautician or barber services
  • Transportation services

Residents staying with us for Respite Care have access to all the services and amenities that we provide to long-stay residents.
