Respite Care is an ideal option for when the caregiver:
- Needs a break
- Is ill or has to have surgery
- Has a family emergency
- Goes on vacation
- Needs to go out of town
All residents will be admitted and treated without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, sex, handicap, marital status, source of payment or sexual preference.
Respite Care residents can stay from 7 to 13 days at one stay, and up to 42 days in one calendar year.
The respite room is a private, centrally located room at the north end of Nursing Home Unit II. The resident has easy access to all parts of the facility so that he or she can socialize and attend our full range of activities and special events.
- Nursing Care
- Social Service
- Activities
- Occupational Therapy
- Physical Therapy
- Pastoral Care
Respite Care is billed at the daily rate for skilled nursing care, except that Respite Care residents have access to special services at no extra charge. Residents may pay privately for Respite Care, or if approved for Medicaid, use that insurance to pay bills.
Call the Respite Care Coordinator at 607-431-5980 to get your name on our waiting list, or to find out more about the program. When possible, you should make reservations in advance to ensure availability.
