What is Respite Care?
“Respite” refers to short term or temporary care which can be provided to individuals at our communities. Family members/caregivers often seek respite care services in order to take a vacation, go out of town for work, or just to take a break from the daily routine of caregiving for a loved one. Quite often, individuals use respite care services when an individual needs additional assistance following a recent hospitalization or major ailment. Individuals can visit us under respite care services for a week to a few months.
What kinds of services are provided?
Residents that come to us for respite care receive the same amenities and services that our permanent residents receive.

Waltonwood's experienced staff offers caring, professional assistance around the clock. We are dedicated to providing a helping hand with daily activities that may have become difficult for our residents to perform.
