If you’re searching for respite care for a parent or spouse, Living Branches offers short-term senior stays that are warm, supportive, and a lot of fun.
Available at the Personal Care (assisted living) level across our campuses in Hatfield, Souderton, and Lansdale, respite care at Living Branches gives caregivers the break they need.
Respite care is a smart option for:
Living Branches is often a middle ground between rehab and home. In urgent cases, we’ve even arranged move-ins within 48 hours. This often works well when the individual is already receiving medical care and we can coordinate directly with their physician.
Many people look for “respite care near me” when planning a vacation or preparing for a medical procedure that will impact their caregiving. At Living Branches, respite care is not an afterthought. It’s a fully supported service built into the heart of our community.
Here’s what makes us different:
Here’s something families are often surprised to learn: one in three respite care stays at Living Branches eventually becomes a permanent move.
Why? Because older adults get to experience the positive effects of a supportive, structured lifestyle: more movement, better food, social interaction, and accessible medical care. At the same time, caregivers may realize how much their loved one benefits from daily support.
For some families, respite care becomes more than a short-term solution – it becomes a new chapter.
While we can complete the move-in process in as little as two weeks, the sooner you call us, the better. Respite care residents go through the standard Personal Care admission process, including forms required by the state of Pennsylvania. We’ll guide you through each step and help coordinate with your loved one’s doctor.
Respite residents receive all the services and amenities enjoyed by our full-time Personal Care residents:
With advance planning, we can typically accommodate a move-in within two weeks. In urgent situations, such as a hospital discharge, we may be able to move faster.
Respite care is offered at the Personal Care level. That means residents receive daily support with dressing, bathing, medication, and meals, but it’s not intended for those who need round-the-clock medical treatment or rehab-level services.
Respite care ranges from $260 to $327 per day for a two-week minimum stay. The cost varies by the accommodations you choose. There may be an additional supportive services fee depending on the care services needed. Your counselor can explain the guidelines.
Whether you’re planning ahead or facing a sudden need, we’re here to support you and your loved one every step of the way.
