Respite Care:
Because even heroes need help sometimes

If you’re a family caregiver who needs time to attend to other obligations or simply to take a break from the demands of caregiving, respite care at Covenant Woods is here to help. Respite care stays are accepted on a space-available basis and offer the opportunity for your loved one to spend a few days or a few weeks in our attractive surroundings and enjoy the life and activities of our community while receiving personalized care and delicious meals. Respite care is also available for those needing to transition from a skilled nursing rehabilitation stay before returning home.
