Short-Term Stays
Short-Term Stays
Short-term stays (respite care) provide family caregivers with a break to either get away or attend important events like weddings or reunions. Respite residents enjoy all the amenities available to full-time residents.
These stays offer caregivers relief from the responsibilities of home care, allowing time for them to focus on their own needs or obligations. Meanwhile, residents benefit from a refreshing change of scenery and a breath of fresh air. Our Tennessee senior living communities provide this transitional support with the continuity and faith that families have come to trust.
Families are welcome to choose stays as short as one week or extend up to a full month. Residents will experience a safe environment with opportunities to form social connections and enjoy all the convenient services and amenities offered by Regency Senior Living communities.
Transitional Support through Short-Term Stays
After a serious event such as a fall, stroke, or heart attack, it’s common for seniors to spend 2 to 3 weeks in an inpatient rehab facility. But what happens when insurance ends, yet more therapy is needed before returning home?
Short-term stays at any Regency Senior Living community provide an ideal transition, helping to reduce the risk of rehospitalization and costly additional rehab.
