Taking time to care for the caregivers can make all the difference.
As the primary caregiver for a beloved senior, in addition to family and career responsibilities, it can feel like you’re running a race with no end.
Respite Care will keep your loved one safe while offering therapeutic and engaging activities so they stay vibrant, active, and involved.
All while giving you a chance to catch up.
At Edencrest Riverwoods we never lose sight of the unique and special individuals who make up our community, or the families behind those individuals.
Your loved one’s day begins with a cheerful greeting as an Edencrest Riverwoods team member arrives to help with the morning routine. She opens the curtains and the sunlight comes streaming in. Looks like a great day for a leisurely stroll around our beautifully manicured grounds. Afternoons are perfect for relaxing out in the courtyard in a comfy chair, chatting with friends or even enjoying a little snooze.
