Respite Care: Compassionate, Customized Short-Term Solutions


As a family-owned and operated senior living facility, Carveth Village understands the importance of family and providing them with comfortable and caring living opportunities, including short-term respite care. We provide a customized solution for a short period of time ranging from a 3-day to 25-day stay. We strive to help the individual who is staying at Carveth to feel right at home. The individual will receive their own room, be able to participate in all of the activities, and enjoy the same luxuries as everyone else without having to sign a long-term contract. Availability varies on room vacancies. 


What is Respite Care?

Respite care typically refers to a short-term stay at a senior community, usually an assisted living or memory care community. Respite care is a great living option for an elderly or disabled person who needs some day-to-day supportive services but still desires social stimulation, engagement, and activities. Because of the high stress associated with caring for a loved one with a memory disorder, respite is frequently sought by the family of people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia. Family caregivers use the opportunity to "recharge their batteries."

The Benefits of Respite Care

Reduces Caregiver Stress

Caregiving can be physically and emotionally taxing, and respite care can help reduce caregiver stress and prevent burnout.

Promotes Better Health

Respite care allows caregivers to take time for self-care, which can improve their physical and emotional health.

Provides Social Interaction

Respite care can provide social interaction for the person receiving care, which can help combat loneliness and isolation.

Improves Overall Well-being

Respite care can help improve overall well-being for both the caregiver and the person receiving care.

Enables Better Care

Respite care can help prevent caregiver fatigue, which can lead to better care for the loved one in the long run.

Offers a Break from Routine

Respite care can provide a break from the routine of caregiving and allow caregivers to engage in other activities or spend time with other family members.
