The cost of a respite stay is structured as a daily fee based on the specific level of care and assistance needed. Because respite care is short-term, costs are all-inclusive, covering private furnished accommodations, meals, personal support, and access to campus amenities. Long-term care insurance or private pay options may help cover respite stays depending on your individual policy; our team can help you navigate your coverage options.

Respite care stays can be tailored for both assisted living and skilled nursing levels of care. Whether your loved one needs minimal assistance with activities of daily living (such as bathing or dressing), ongoing medication management, or short-term recovery support following a hospital stay, our licensed nursing team creates an individualized care plan to meet their health needs.
