When families need respite or urgent care
- Extra assistance before returning home after a hospital stay
- Short-term rehabilitation after a hip or knee replacement
- A safe place to stay when home has become unsafe
- A caregiver break for work, travel, or a much-needed rest
- An emergency that requires placement within a day or two
What a respite stay includes
Every stay begins with a detailed evaluation and an individualized care plan. Respite residents receive the same care and comforts as long-term residents: nursing observation, assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing and bathing, medication management, scheduled transportation, chef-prepared meals with dietician oversight, and a full calendar of activities.
A short stay is also the best way to experience Pine Lodge before deciding on a permanent move — many families start here.
Urgent placement, often in a single day
Following hospitalization for surgery or illness, a short-term stay with our trained team can provide the recovery and rehabilitation support needed to prevent complications and costly readmission. Our admissions process is designed to be quicker and easier than you might expect — when circumstances demand and safety allows, we can place residents in our community in a single day.
