Respite Care Home > The Homestead > Respite Care Everybody needs a little vacation! Respite Care Program Our respite care program at The Homestead provides temporary care – from one (1) week to six (6) weeks – and is ideal for Elders who need transitional support after an illness. It also allows caregivers to travel, focus on family issues, or just take a much-needed break. Many respite guests enjoy their stay so much they become permanent assisted living residents.
