| A valuable service for the caregiver, Saint Therese's Respite Care and Companion Services offer scheduled, short-term assistance on a temporary basis. The goal is to provide a break for the caregiver and a pleasant change of pace in a safe, secure environment for the recipient.
Respite Care and Companion Services are offered only on our Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake campus.
What is Respite Care?
Families caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia often express the need for a break from care giving—if they travel for business, want to take a long-awaited vacation, or simply just need a rest. You may also wish to use Respite Care as a “trial period” that will be very helpful in making a long-term decision. The furnished respite suite is located in our beautiful memory care community.
How Long Can We Use Respite Care?
Respite Care is flexible, and can be tailored to meet your needs. Families can use Respite Care for as little as four days and for as long as six weeks.
Respite Care Can Be Arranged in Several Ways:
One can receive temporary lodging and services for the caregiver's loved one at Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake or in-home care is offered for current Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake tenants and can include everything from companionship to meals, cleaning, transportation and medical support
What Are Companion Services?
Our Companion Service is designed to provide nonmedical services and activities on a 1:1 basis for those that desire that special attention in their own apartment or within Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake. Services may include:
|
|
