Respite Care for Seniors

Samuel F. Vilas Home provides short term respite care with a minimum stay requirement of two weeks, dependent on availability.

Respite Care Explained

Respite care is a short term solution to provide some relief for a caregiver. For some residents and families, respite care is an excellent option to try out an assisted living facility and provide primary caregivers with a break - perhaps to travel to visit family or even to tend to medical needs of their own.

Would Respite Care Work for Me?

Does your family member need a short stay for recovery?
Is the family caregiver traveling and needs their loved one cared for?
Do you need assistance for a short period of time because of a fall or accident?

Would I Benefit From Respite Care?

One of the most important reasons respite care is pursued is so that family members and primary caregivers avoid healthcare burnout. While it is important to be there and present for your family member as a caregiver, you cannot be there for them if you are having physical and mental setbacks, losing sleep, and have no time outside of the home for hobbies or interests. Temporary relief of caregiver responsibilities can make a world of difference.
