ASSISTED LIVING SHORT-TERM RESPITE CARE PROGRAMS
Brookdale Senior Living.
USA.
Program Description
“Think of respite care as a support system for family caregivers. Respite care services give you the flexibility of choosing short-term or temporary care so you can take time away from your caregiving responsibilities. Maybe you have to travel for business or you’re taking a vacation. Or you might have errands to run or you just need to rest."

Assisted living facilities provide seniors with the option to temporarily stay as a resident for the day, week or month and in the process are able to fill beds that would have remained empty.
Providing family or elderly caregivers with this short-term option may eliminate seniors from going into assisted living permanently when all that is required is a brief stay for caregivers respite or to take care of daily needs such as appointments or employment concerns, vacation or other issues that may come up.
Short-term respite at assisted living may also be useful after a senior is discharged from the hospital and needs in-term care.
The benefit of short-term elderly caregiver respite is that it may offer a welcome or well deserved change for both senior and caregiver, and seniors can experience assisted living as an option they may want to consider for themselves in the future.
