Caring for someone you love can require your attention every day. There may also be times when work, travel, your own health, or another responsibility makes it difficult for you to provide that care at home.
Maison de Serenity offers short-term respite stays for adults and older adults whose primary caregivers need temporary relief.
Your loved one can stay in our private residential setting and receive personal assistance, meals, medication support within approved limits, housekeeping, activities, and daily supervision based on their assessed needs.
You can focus on what requires your attention, knowing that a care plan is in place for the person who depends on you.
Who will care for your loved one when you cannot be there?
A respite stay can provide a temporary solution when you need time away from caregiving responsibilities.
Families may consider respite care because of:
Some caregivers plan respite weeks. Others need help with very little notice. In either situation, we review the prospective guest’s needs before admission so we can determine if our residence is an appropriate fit.
Every person arrives with different routines, abilities, and support needs.
Maison de Serenity may provide respite care for adults and older adults who need temporary help with:
Before admission, we learn how your loved one manages each day and what support helps them feel comfortable.
We also review their cognitive and physical needs so we can determine if our residential setting can provide the appropriate level of care.
A short stay should still feel organized and personal.
Our team works to maintain familiar routines while providing the residential support your loved one needs.
Depending on the care plan, we may assist with:
We assist at a pace that respects the guest’s abilities and preferences.
We can provide medication reminders or assistance within permitted limits and according to the approved plan.
Families should provide complete and current medication information before admission.
Guests receive meals, snacks, and hydration during their stay.
We also review approved dietary requirements and personal preferences before arrival.
Routine housekeeping, linens, and laundry support help keep the guest’s room comfortable throughout the stay.
Optional activities may reflect the guest’s physical abilities, cognitive needs, interests, and energy level.
A guest may choose conversation, music, games, reading, outdoor time, simple activities, or quiet rest.
Sometimes you know exactly when you will need help. At other times, circumstances change without much warning.
Maison de Serenity may support both planned and urgent respite requests.
Scheduling in advance can help when you are preparing for:
Planning gives us time to review care information, confirm availability, and prepare for the guest’s arrival.
We may also consider shorter-notice requests when a caregiver unexpectedly becomes unavailable.
Urgent placement depends on:
Contact us as soon as you know you may need urgent care.
Respite stays may last from a few days to several weeks, depending on the family’s needs, the guest’s care requirements, and room availability.
Before admission, we discuss the expected start and end dates so everyone has a clear plan.
A guest’s day may include:
We do not expect every guest to follow the same schedule.
Whenever possible, we use information from the family to maintain familiar routines for meals, sleep, personal care, and daily activities.
Sometimes a short stay gives families useful insight into the level of support their loved one now requires.
You may find that returning to the previous care arrangement still makes sense. You may also realize that additional support would help.
When appropriate, our team can discuss other available options, including:
Moving from respite into another service is not automatic.
We would review the guest’s current needs, available space, family preferences, and admission requirements before making a new arrangement.
You do not have to wait until caregiving becomes unmanageable before asking for help.
Tell us about your loved one and the dates you need support.
We may ask about:
Our team will review the information, discuss current availability, and explain the admission process.
