Benefits of Short-Term Stays

Short-Term Stays is a short-term relief program that offers full-time caregivers a chance to rest, reset, and recharge. While it may be difficult for caregivers to have their loved ones out of sight, Short-Term Stays at Aiken Memory Care offers many different benefits including:

Around the Clock Care - 24/7 nurse oversight is available to all residents, whether short-term or long-term. Each resident has a customized care plan that caters to their individual needs, preferences, and interests. Our team is full of professional caregivers that strive to treat Short-Term Stays as if they were permanent.

Rest for Caregivers - Caregiving for an individual with a memory loss disease is a full-time job with little to no time off. Caregivers tend to get burnt out after a certain period of time and require time away to recharge and reset. Short-Term Stay programs allow caregivers to be able to take the time to do so.

Builds Stronger Relationships - With short periods away from each other, relationships between caregivers and their loved ones can grow stronger. This break from each other gives each other a chance to participate in different activities and be around other people. This is needed to prevent redundancy in day-to-day life.

Encourages Social Involvement - Short-Term Stays encourages social involvement for both the caregiver and the loved one. These relationships are typically one-on-one, not leaving a lot of room for socializing with others. Short-Term Stays allows your loved one to meet and engage with other residents and for the caregiver to participate in social gatherings of their choosing.
