Village Respite

Short-Term Support. Peace of Mind for You and Your Family.

When a loved one needs extra support—or when caregivers need time to rest, travel, or manage life’s demands—Village Respite offers a safe, comfortable, and enriching short-term solution. Available in both Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and Memory Support Assisted Living, our respite stays provide the same compassionate care, vibrant lifestyle, and individualized attention that all residents receive.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is a temporary stay in a supportive senior living community. Families choose respite care for many reasons, including:

Post-Hospital Support

A loved one needs more help after a hospital stay, illness, or surgery

Caregiver Time Away

Caregivers are traveling for the holidays or need time away—guilt-free

Balancing Life & Care

Work, family responsibilities, or health appointments make caregiving challenging

Caregiver Relief

A caregiver needs rest, recovery, or relief from burnout

Social Connection

A loved one would benefit from companionship, structure, or socialization

Short-Term Care Trial

Families want to “try out” Assisted Living or Memory Support before making a longer-term decision

Whether the need is planned or unexpected, respite gives everyone room to breathe while ensuring your loved one stays safe, engaged, and cared for.

Why Choose Respite Care at Village Shalom?

Because peace of mind shouldn’t have to wait.

At Village Shalom, respite guests receive round-the-clock professional care and full access to our community’s supportive services, social programs, and compassionate team. Whether your loved one needs minimal assistance or specialized dementia care, we meet each person where they are—with dignity, warmth, and individualized support.

Short-Term Stays Available

Is Respite Care a Good Fit for Your Family?

A short-term stay may be the right choice if your loved one is:

  • Recovering from an illness, injury, or hospital stay
  • Experiencing memory changes or needs secure support
  • Feeling lonely or isolated at home
  • Struggling with meals, medications, or daily routines
  • Wanting structure, engagement, or social interaction
  • Living with a caregiver who needs time away—for travel, health, work, or rest

Many families also find that a respite stay helps ease the transition into long-term Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, or Memory Support—allowing everyone to make decisions without pressure or urgency.

Village Shalom is currently offering special short-term Respite Stays in Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing and Memory Support Assisted Living. Availability is limited.

Let us help you find the support your family needs.
