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.

From time to time, caregivers may need short breaks to avoid burnout and maintain the exceptional care they provide for their loved ones. We understand.
Our short-term respite care services offer a wonderful opportunity for you to take a well-deserved break while your loved one enjoys access to excellent amenities and a welcoming community.
