Expert Skilled Nursing Respite Care: Providing short-term compassionate, supportive and professional care to those in need.
Skilled nursing Respite care is a short-term, temporary stay at a Covenant Living skilled care community. This level of care allows customers family or loved ones who are often primary caregivers to take a break from providing daily care. Respite care is provided by licensed clinical and healthcare professionals. Skilled nursing respite care ensures that the care recipient continues to receive high-quality assistance, medical attention, and specialized support during a caregiver’s absence.
Benefits for Caregivers
Skilled nursing respite offer caregivers a vital opportunity to recharge and attend to their own wellbeing. By entrusting their loved ones to trained professionals, caregivers can temporarily step back from the demands of caregiving, reducing stress and preventing burnout.
This break allows caregivers to focus on their physical and mental health, engage in activities they enjoy and maintain important social connections. This essential support not only enhances the overall caregiving experience but also strengthens the caregiver’s ability to provide sustained and compassionate care in the long run.
Skilled Nursing Respite includes:
- 24-hour skilled nursing care
- Three daily meals, snacks, specialized diets, and dietician support
- Social Services consults and support
- Room and board
- Out-patient therapies (with a doctor’s order)
- Daily scheduled activities and spiritual ministries
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Laundry and linen service
- Daily housekeeping
- Semi-private or private room (pending availability)
- Pharmaceutical services
- Beauty and barber services
We are here to help.
Keep in mind that you do not have to be a current resident of a Covenant community to benefit from a Skilled Nursing respite stay. Even though respite care is temporary, it can make a big difference in your healthcare journey. Please call our Healthcare Navigator (877) 525-8036 to learn more.
August is National Make-A-Will Month – a timely reminder to make creating your Will a priority this year.
According to a 2025 bit.ly/3gGgPhw survey, 76% of U.S. adults don’t have a Will. If you’re one of them, now’s the time to get started. If you already have one, take a moment to review and update it so it reflects your current wishes and family situation.
Having a plan can:
✅ Protect your loved ones
✅ Preserve your legacy
✅ Support the causes you care about
Without a plan, your estate could face delays, unexpected costs, and results that don’t match your wishes.
