What are the Benefits of Short-Term Stays?
Short-Term Stays are a relief program that gives full-time caregivers a chance to reset and recharge. While there may be many reasons a caregiver does not want their loved one out of their sight, there are multiple different benefits that come along with the Short-Term Stay program that we offer at Westminster.
24-hour nurse oversight - Your loved one will have the proper care every hour of the day that caters to their individual needs, preferences, and interests. Our team of professional caregivers strive to treat respite care residents as if they were permanent.
Caregivers are given the chance to rest - Being a caregiver is a full-time job. Just like any job, after a while, individuals tend to get burned out and in need of a break. Our program allows caregivers to take the time that they need in order to recover from all of their hard work and long hours.
Helps to build stronger relationships between caregivers and their loved ones - Using the time that a Short-Term Stay offers to spend time away from each other, the relationship between the two can grow stronger. From time to time, caregivers and loved ones need a break from each other in order to participate in different activities and have a change of scenery. This is needed to prevent growing tired of the same daily routine.
Encourages social involvement - A Short-Term Stay encourages social involvement for the caregiver and the loved one. These relationships tend to have a lot of one-on-one time. Taking a break from this allows the caregiver to participate in social gatherings and the loved one is able to engage in different activities with different people throughout their stay at Westminster.
Along with these benefits, there are many other reasons why short-term stays can be beneficial. For more information fill out the contact form on our website or call us today at (803) 356-7507.
