Respite Care

At Post Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Short-term care to support residents and their families

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is temporary care for individuals who are usually cared for by a spouse, child, or other primary caregiver. The purpose of respite care is to provide short-term relief for primary care-givers. 

Respite Care at Post Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

At Post, we believe primary caregivers are as essential and indispensable in a resident’s livelihood. It is just as important for caregivers to practice self-care as it is for the individuals they care for, and it is our honor to assist in enabling this. We offer Respite Care services on a short-term basis to ensure residents receive the highest quality care while their usual caretakers are unavailable.

We provide the following Respite Care services:

• Skilled nursing care, medical monitoring and treatment
• Getting dressed
• Bathing
• Using the toilet
• Eating
• Transportation services
• 24-hour emergency care
