Time away for a short stay

Caregivers for older adults can say “Yes!” to out-of-town invitations or simply take a ‘time-out’ for their own health or wellness, thanks to Cedar Community’s respite programs. Friendship House Assisted Living welcomes your loved one with early- to mid-stage Alzheimer’s disease or related memory loss, and Cedar Bay Assisted Living welcomes other older adults who wish to make themselves at home in our comfortable, furnished respite apartment for a short time.

Short-term residents can enjoy the same services and amenities as long-term assisted living residents:

• Private, fully furnished apartment with private bathroom
• Three full meals and snacks
• Secure entrance and outdoor garden/courtyard*
• Medication or other nursing assistance
• Help with dressing or other personal care
• Laundry service
• Housekeeping
• Bathing assistance
• Beauty shop
• A variety of outings and activities

* Friendship House only

Respite is available for a weekend, a week or longer. Space is limited, so we encourage you to check availability and make arrangements as well in advance as possible. You’ll need to prepare a few items before admission:

• A record of a physician’s appointment with history and physical within 60 days of the visit
• Current chest X-ray and/or record of negative TB skin test
• Current medication listing

Contact us for further details or to arrange a private tour. You may also call Rachel Haggarty, MSW, admissions director, at 262. 306.4244 directly.
