Consider the following real-life scenario: A recent illness or injury has caused you to spend some time in the hospital. The doctor is ready to discharge you but you are afraid and have reservations about being alone. Or perhaps you are concerned about the burden on your spouse or other family members. You wish the doctor would allow you to stay a couple more days so you could have a little more time to get stronger.

 

Did you know that Mill Street Residence has a program just for you? Known as "respite care", this option is similar to a hotel in that you rent a room on a day-to-day basis. What makes it different is that included in the cost of your room are all the services that our assisted living program has to offer.

 

• Furnished apartment including basic cable TV and local telephone
• Housekeeping services to include laundering of linens and towels
• Access to 24-hour on-site staff and emergency call assistance
• Assistance with your health and personal care needs
• Two meals per day - you choose between breakfast, lunch and supper
• Transportation for shopping and medical appointments
• A full activity calendar and the opportunity to socialize with friends and neighbors

 

By giving you a few extra days to get stronger, we can help you make the transition from hospital to home safely and successfully. Our respite care program may also provide a solution for people caring for a parent or loved one. When you can’t be there, we can help by giving you the peace-of-mind that your loved one is being cared for while you are away. Call us for more information.
