Respite Care
Discover short-term support that gives everyone the break they need.
Taking Care of Yourself Isn’t Selfish
Our respite care in Wisconsin’s Fitchburg area gives families permission to step away without guilt. Whether you’re traveling for work or need space to recharge, short-term stays at The Courtyard provide professional support while you take the necessary time for yourself.
Respite care is also excellent for seniors who are recovering from a procedure, or considering a permanent move to a community like ours.
Either way, respite stays offer solutions when circumstances demand flexibility.
What Respite Care Provides
Your loved one stays in a private furnished suite, receives all meals and personal care support, and participates in daily activities alongside permanent residents. Meanwhile, family caregivers rest knowing their loved one is well cared for in a professional environment.
Stays start at 14 days and can extend to multiple weeks, depending on your situation. There’s no pressure to extend or convert to permanent residency, though many families discover respite visits help them understand when it might be time for that transition.
