What Is Respite Care? It’s a Short-Term Stay With Long-Term Happiness.

The Avalon of Commerce Township is a wonderful place to live – even if it’s just for a short while. Respite care, or short-term care, offers a perfect solution for those caring for an aging loved one who may be going on vacation or who may simply need to refresh and re-energize from the daily rigors of caregiving. Respite stays are also a great option for anyone who could benefit from more recovery or relaxation time after surgery or other medical procedures.

Respite residents have access to the same amenities, support, services, and life-enrichment as all The Avalon residents while benefitting from a relaxing, comfortable, homelike environment and around-the-clock care.

The Benefits of Respite Are Many.

For caregivers, respite stays can prevent exhaustion and caregiver burn out. For residents, respite can be a welcome change of routine, complete with access to a wide variety of stimulating activities, exciting entertainment, and plenty of opportunities for socialization. And it’s all provided in a caring, nurturing environment with 24/7 support.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions about respite care. We’ve got answers. Anything we don’t cover, call us at (248) 387-2961.

When should respite care be used?

Many family caregivers use respite care when going on vacation. Others use it to further recover from surgery or hospitalization before returning home.

How often?

Respite care can be as frequent or as infrequent as you prefer.

How long?

Respite stays can last for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks.

In-home vs out-of-home respite care?

In-home respite care is convenient because the professional comes to the house, learns the home and becomes familiar with the family routine. But, for those who need complicated medical assistance it might be better to look at a temporary respite care option outside of the home, where they may be better equipped to manage health or emergency issues.

What services are included in respite care?

The services available to full-time community residents are available to respite guests: 24/7 support with personal care, like bathing or medication management, activities, specialized memory care if needed, meals and more.

Is respite care covered by insurance?

Medicare will not cover respite care unless the respite services involve hospice care. Long-term care insurance may be used as a supplemental insurance to help pay for respite care.

Caring, competent, and professional! No less than six tours of other facilities, Avalon definitely checks all the boxes... community oriented, team is family centric, with a level of personal dedication that is necessary for this environment. Adaptive and accommodating... Avalon made adjustments for my parents as only one of them required the facility and its amenities, covering all the needs of my father, while providing opportunities for my mother to live a comfortable lifestyle. Our experience was professional, personal, and friendly... all items required for this adventure. Thank you to the Avalon Team for all your care and friendship making a challenging situation more comfortable and accommodating! Highly recommended!

The Avalon of Commerce is truly a remarkable community that sets the standard for senior living. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can see the thought, care, and intentionality that has gone into every detail. The facility is beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, and exceptionally clean. Even the nursery and shared spaces reflect the warmth and attention that make this community feel like home. What stands out most is the genuine commitment to the wellness, happiness, and quality of life of the residents. The team consistently goes above and beyond to create meaningful experiences, foster connection, and ensure that every resident feels valued, respected, and cared for. It is evident that this is more than just a retirement community; it’s a place where seniors can truly thrive. A special recognition goes to Tashe, whose leadership is nothing short of extraordinary. Her love, passion, and joy for serving seniors shines through in everything she does. She has cultivated a culture of compassion, excellence, and community that is felt by residents, families, staff, and visitors alike. Many people speak highly of her, and it is easy to see why because she is a true steward of this community and an incredible advocate for the seniors she serves. Avalon of Commerce is THEE example of what senior living should be. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a community that genuinely invests in the well-being, dignity, and happiness of its residents

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Memory Care Director. She is truly phenomenal at what she does. She is compassionate, professional, dedicated, and always willing to help whenever needed. No matter how busy she is, she makes herself available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide support to residents and their families. One of her greatest strengths is her communication. She keeps families informed, listens carefully, and makes sure everyone feels heard, valued, and supported. There have been challenges along the way, as there are in any community, but she always finds a way to address them and works hard to make things right. Her problem solving skills, commitment, and genuine care for the residents are remarkable. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure residents receive the best possible care, and her leadership brings peace of mind to families. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has on the memory care community and highly recommend this assisted living community because of the outstanding care, communication, and support she provides.
