It’s Summer in Richmond Virginia, bringing hot, humid days and lightening bug nights.  Summer also means the kids are out of school and many family caregivers are torn between attending family vacations and caring for an older family member. It’s time to talk about respite care. Senior loved ones with physical or memory limitations may be unable to travel or navigate an unfamiliar vacation home.  Caregivers may want to vacation with their children or grandchildren but doubt that their senior loved one can endure the rigorous schedule of an extended family holiday.

Ginter Hall South Respite Care is the answer.  Our senior respite care program at Ginter Hall South is designed for short-term care situations, from just a few days to as long as 30 days. It is an opportunity for family caregivers to have a break or take a trip knowing that their loved one is being cared for in a professional environment.

Our respite senior guests receive the same regimen of 24-hour assistance, housekeeping, amenities, and meal schedules as our assisted living seniors. We offer medication management for respite seniors and other Activities of Daily Living tasks as may be required.

For each respite care guest, a comprehensive respite care plan is developed and implemented during their stay to ensure our senior care associates meet the daily needs and preferences of the respite resident.

We strive to meet the daily needs of each respite care guest as an individual so that we may best provide for their specific circumstance.  Senior respite guests may also take full advantage of our assisted living amenities, including individually climate-controlled studios, beauty and barber services, personal shoppers, and over 30 hours of stimulating social activities each week with other senior guests and residents.

We would be happy to have you and your family come meet our family here at Ginter Hall South, located in Chesterfield County, Virginia. If you would like to learn more about our respite care program, please contact us by calling one of our Senior Information Assistants at (804) 794-7770, or by email at caring@ginterhall.com for more information.
