Willowbrook Hills 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 Willowbrook Hills residents while benefitting from a relaxing, comfortable, homelike environment and around-the-clock care.
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.

Try Our Lifestyle Before Committing
Short-term respite care provides a terrific opportunity to try our vibrant lifestyle before making a full-time commitment. Respite guests can sample all the services and amenities available to residents, and many find themselves so pleased with their stay, they become full-time residents.
Memory Care
Our innovative memory care program provides care for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other related memory-impairing dementias. By focusing on remaining abilities instead of lost abilities, residents can achieve the highest quality of life possible while maintaining dignity.
Many family caregivers use respite care when going on vacation. Others use it to further recover from surgery or hospitalization before returning home.
Respites can be completed a week at a time.
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.
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.
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.
