At Mallards Landing, our Respite & Short-Term Stay Program is designed to give families peace of mind while providing seniors with the comfort and support they need—whether recovering from a hospital stay or simply giving caregivers a much-needed break.
Respite means “a brief period of rest.” It’s a chance for caregivers to step back, regroup, and take care of their own well-being—while ensuring their loved ones are in good hands.


Whether it’s for a week or a month, or even just one day, our program provides warm, home-like care from trained professionals. It’s flexibility you can trust—designed with your family in mind.
In 2010, we recognized the growing need for short-term senior care among families doing their best at home. That’s when we opened our first furnished apartment dedicated to respite stays.

For those not quite ready to return home after hospital, rehab, or nursing care.
A safe, fully supported environment while families are out of town.
Try for a week or two—see how it feels before making a permanent move.
Coordinated end-of-life care in the resident’s own or a furnished apartment.
