For a lot of caregivers, taking care of their mom and dad is a full-time job. The idea of going out of town for a weekend or an unexpected short-term change in care needs, like doctor’s orders after being discharged from the hospital, are serious stressors for caregivers who already feel worn thin. If you’re a caregiver who needs some extra help for a few weeks or days, respite care might be the perfect fit.

Respite care provides the peace of mind of on-site care staff, prepared meals, and enrichment opportunities for seniors, without the long-term commitment.

Because you want your loved one to receive the quality care you have been providing, but you either have to travel or are otherwise unavailable for a short time.

Ralston Creek Neighborhood will provide the appropriate level of care in a private studio or one bedroom apartment with private bath, a personalized care plan, nutritious meals, activities and companionship.

In addition to solving a short-term problem, a respite stay gives caregivers a chance to reduce stress, restore energy and keep daily life responsibilities in balance.
