Respite care is an option for your parent to stay in an assisted living community for a short stay, so they are safe and cared for by professionals. You can rest assured that your parent will receive 24-hour care from the specifically-trained staff, including medication management, and assistance with the tasks of daily living. They will be a part of the community and able to participate in activities and socialize with other residents. Your parent may enjoy their stay so much they may never want to leave.
