Whether a caregiver is going out of town or facing changes in availability, sometimes older adults need a temporary place to stay.
Light of Hearts Villa offers respite stay services that build on our successful assisted living services, providing a comfortable and secure home-away-from-home with a high level of personal care.
Respite care guests stay in a fully furnished assisted living unit with all the amenities and services full-time residents enjoy, including meals, the oversight of a professional health care staff, personal care services, activities and more—all for an affordable daily fee. Rehabilitation therapy is also available.
Respite care services are available for stays of two weeks up to several weeks. Respite care guests can enjoy the companionship of peers while caregivers can receive a temporary respite from providing care.
