Innovations in Senior Living: The Short-Term Stay

Your effectiveness as a caregiver depends on your ability to give your loved one your full attention and energy. But unless you take some time out to recharge your batteries, sooner or later you're going to find yourself drained. Although it may seem paradoxical, the most effective way for you to regain your energy and renew your commitment to caring for another is to spend time by yourself or with other family members or friends.

Of course, that's easier said than done. There's no point in taking even a small vacation if you pass your time worrying about the care your loved one is receiving. Thanks to Sunrise's short-term stay program, your loved one can stay at one of our communities and you'll know that their needs for companionship and care are being addressed.

Care That Meets Your Standards

Designed for stays of a few days to several months, the short-term stay program at Sunrise Senior Living communities offers seniors all the services we provide our regular assisted living residents. Short-term stay residents enjoy tastefully furnished suites with weekly housekeeping services, receive personal care assistance and medication management, and can take advantage of scheduled transportation. What's more, they quickly become valued members of the community and welcome participants in the round of social activities we organize. 

We treat every short-term stay resident as an individual. Prior to their joining us, we bring seniors and family members together to conduct an assessment that helps us determine the appropriate services and care for each individual. Our rates reflect precisely those services a senior might require and their length of stay. 

Leave Your Worries Behind

Our short-term stay program at Sunrise will allow you to make the most of your time away because you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one is in a warm, comfortable environment being cared for by professional caregivers. In fact, many seniors enjoy their short-term stay so much that they ultimately decide to make a Sunrise community their home.
