Respite Care
Care Support for Families
Everyone needs a break now and then. Our respite care services provide temporary, short-term nursing care for a patient while their regular caregiver gets a much-needed respite. Caregivers who are able to avail themselves of respite care often find they return to their caregiving routine with renewed energy and reduced stress.
Our Respite Services provide valuable time off for anyone providing care for a family member who is elderly, ill, or unable to live alone. Our caregivers seamlessly work together to deliver quality. individualized care in a serene setting designed with total wellness in mind.
Daily rates for respite care reflect a fully furnished room, three meals per day and round-the-clock nursing care. In some cases, Medicare may pay for respite care. See medicare.gov for more information.
At Jo Ellen Smith Living Center, we’re here seven days a week to help assist you with the daily responsibilities of caring for your loved one. For information about our Respite Services or to schedule a personal tour, please contact us today.
