Respite Care in Port Charlotte, FL

Below are a few programs we designed to support families who aren't ready for full-time residency in a senior community.

Respite & Short Term Care

Respite Care
We provide relief for family caregivers, too. Seniors who need assistance can reside with us while a caregiver takes a vacation, attends to other matters, or enjoys a respite from caregiving. We call it Respite Care.

Short-term Stays
An easy way to transition from hospital to home is with a Short-term Stay. Experience all the amenities of our community for a few days, a week or a month. This is the perfect place for someone recuperating from a hospital stay who isn't ready to return home alone. Participants enjoy chef-prepared meals, assistance with personal care, and laundry service until their recovery is complete.

Senior Day Program
Our Senior Day Program is an excellent way to reduce the stress of family care giving and create a good experience for everyone involved. Studies on seniors show isolation and loneliness decrease when they are in an active and enjoyable day program. Participants benefit from personal health services and social activities during the day, then return home to familiar surroundings in the evening.

Family caregivers can use this program to provide interesting, active days for their loved one while they are at work, or take a well-deserved break from caregiving. Our Senior Day Program is an affordable alternative that can help seniors live at home longer, and prevent caregiver burnout.

Our Senior Day Program includes:

• Gentle exercise, art classes, computer classes, bingo, musical entertainment, sensory stimulation, pet therapy and much more
• Supervision of medications
• Delicious hot meals, plus snacks
• Comfortable resting accommodations
• Flexible, extended hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week including holidays
• Participants attend as often as desired

Dusk to Dawn Overnight Care
Now, family caregivers can care for a relative at home during the day, and get the relief and rest they need at night! Our comfortable home-like environment provides a place for seniors with sleep disturbances, confusion or wandering habits to stay overnight. Our Dusk to Dawn Overnight Program helps to eliminate risks often found at home, when the person can't be closely monitored.

Participants engage in quiet activities, rest, or sleep, in our secure calming environment. Gentle exercise and a schedule of social and recreational activities is provided to entertain and occupy attendees. Delicious and nutritious snacks are offered. We provide assistance with personal hygiene and medications, if necessary.

Our program helps caregivers to rest, or attend to other obligations, while their loved one enjoys a structured, supervised, socially active environment.
