'Stay-the-Day' at the Ridgewood Respite Program
The need for caregivers to have periods of rest is just as important as the care they give their loved one.
Ridgewood is pleased to accommodate that need, by providing our 'Stay-the-Day' respite program to the area.
The service is an adult day care for seniors that can give caregivers respite by providing a safe & comfortable place where seniors can be taken for a couple of hours, the entire day or even for a month.
If you are living on your own or with family, you can also choose to spend the day with us. Just as with our full-time residents, our friendly and knowledgeable staff will work closely with you and your family members. At the same time, you'll meet new people and enjoy meaningful activities that enrich your life, including:
-
Arts & crafts
-
Social activities
-
Games and movies
-
Live entertainment
-
Outings & field trips
-
Recreational activities
We welcome you and or your loved one to stay for as long as you choose, receiving the same services all residents enjoy.
Most of our Stay-the-Day visitors tell us how quickly they feel right at home and some choose to stay for longer terms.
You or your loved one may want to take advantage of this option for several reasons:
thinking about moving to Ridgewood Retirement Centre, but want to fully experience the Ridgewood life style before make a final decision...
being discharged from hospital but perhaps need some extra help and may not feel completely ready to return home yet...
a family member or caregiver is going away and you or your loved needs a temporary place to live while the caregiver enjoys a well-deserved break.
