Flexible Respite Care Services Tailored to Your Needs

Our respite care services are available for just a few days, a week, or even several months depending on what works best for your family. Families often choose senior respite care when they need a break from caregiving, when unexpected events make home care difficult, or when a loved one requires supervision while family members are away. Respite stays are also an excellent way for families to experience Pepper Tree as a trial before making a long-term decision.



We have a thoughtful welcome process that makes each transition smooth, and we communicate often with families to keep them updated on their loved one’s well-being. Daily services may include meal preparation, hygiene assistance, light housekeeping, and supervision. By developing individualized care plans, we ensure each senior receives the right level of support, whether their stay is a few days or several weeks.

Support After Hospitalization or Surgery

For many families, assisted living short term stays provide peace of mind after a hospital discharge or surgery. Recovery at home can be overwhelming without proper support, and that is where we step in.



Our experienced team helps with medication management, bathing, dressing, mobility, and coordination with physicians, pharmacies, and home health nurses. We provide 24/7 supervision, rehabilitation support, and nutritious home-cooked meals to encourage healing. Families can focus on encouragement while we take care of the details that promote a safe and comfortable recovery.

Compassionate Care and an Engaging Environment

Our respite services go beyond meeting daily needs. Companionship is at the heart of what we do, and we believe that strong relationships with caregivers enrich every stay. Seniors at Pepper Tree enjoy:
