Passages is a caregiver resource center focusing on education and support for those caring for someone suffering from a cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease.

OUTSIDE THE HOME

You can also choose to place your loved one in an assisted living facility/residential care for respite care. Some specialize in memory care. These are 24-hour non-medical care facilities. They will typically be able to accommodate someone for respite as long as there is an available room and the pre-admission requirements are completed (Physician’s Report & Tuberculosis Test). The cost for respite in a care home is a rate you pay per day and can range from $135-$250. Some will have a one-two week minimum stay.

See Assisted Living / Residential Care Facilities for a list.
