Short-Term Stays
When you need somewhere temporary to recover from surgery or while your caregiver is unavailable, consider a short-term stay. Our program is available for Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. Short-term stays offer numerous benefits, which is why some people regularly schedule a short-term stay once or twice a year.
