Respite Care
Family caregivers, who need some time to take care of short-term personal needs, can take advantage of an innovative service offered by Masonic Care Community in Utica, New York. This is in response to an ever-growing demand for this type of “respite” program.
Our Medical Director, Dr. Wilcox, with a resident. The “Take a Break” program is a short-term respite service. It is designed to allow family members involved in the daily care of a loved one to have time away from their “labor of love.” While it may only be necessary to take a few days for personal business, this program will also provide the opportunity for stays as long as 30 days. That long overdue vacation can now become a reality. Regulations limits stays to a maximum of 42 days per year.
