What Is Respite Care?

When to Consider Respite Care
Respite care can be a helpful option for many situations, including managing life obligations and avoiding caregiver burnout. Knowing your loved one is safe and supported can provide you with the peace of mind you need to take on other responsibilities.
We are dedicated to providing personalized support to seniors and their families, catering to their unique needs and lifestyle preferences. At Peregrine Senior Living at The Athenaeum of Skaneateles, we are here for you, no matter the circumstances.
