Respite Care

Flexible and Overnight Care

Respite care can help caregivers avoid the phenomenon known as caregiver burnout by providing temporary care for loved ones in a safe, engaging environment.

Being a caregiver for a loved one brings many stresses and often leads to caregiver burnout. Having the time to do things such as travel, run errands or even catch up on sleep can be vital to avoiding burnout, keeping healthy and maintaining the ability to deliver the best care.

Respite Care’s Benefits

Available on a per-location basis, Flex Care gives memory-impaired individuals an opportunity to experience the world-class care of a Silverado community while their loved ones receive respite care’s benefits. Whether staying for a day of flexible care or overnight, our flexible care program offers all the benefits that define Silverado’s life-enriching care:

  • Industry-leading clinical care, which offers around-the-clock licensed nursing to address any level of need. Silverado associates are also highly skilled in memory care and trained to provide gentle redirection, behavior management, medication oversight and comprehensive care that incorporates fall and injury prevention programs.
  • A nurturing environment that encourages associates to bring their children to work, which creates a family atmosphere; provides community pets for unconditional affection and companionship; and promotes a model of care that centers on choice, connection and purposeful engagement.
  • Participation in engagement programs and community outings that are specifically designed for those with memory impairment, to encourage group involvement around similar interests. This in turn, helps individuals remain physically and mentally active by inspiring interests and promoting new skill sets.
  • Gourmet menus that are both nutritious and appetizing. Silverado’s culinary team prepares meals made from scratch, which incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables, specialty entrée items and themed menu options. Additionally, guests can always help themselves to any snacks from the fully-stocked bistros and country kitchens.

Respite care policies and availability may vary due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please contact your local Silverado location for details.
