Caregiver Relief
Short-term respite stays in West Central MN
You need to care for yourself in order to care for your loved one. Respite care gives you time to do just that. Caregiving is rewarding and fulfilling but can also be stressful, and the danger of burnout is real.
Our respite care in West Central Minnesota is a short-term stay for seniors, often at an assisted-living facility for seven-plus days (with no maximum). Sample uses of respite care include:

- Caregiver relief (time away in order for R&R, business travel, household tasks, etc.)
- Short-term respite stay for individuals who don't qualify for a Medicare Part A skilled care stay
