At Providence Place, we provide customized care for residents with memory loss. Our approach is to offer the right level of memory support at the right time. We make this possible by operating separate programs for different stages of dementia: early stage and late stage.

A respite stay is a short-term stay at a Providence Place Senior Living. This option is available for those times when a caregiver can’t provide regular care and companionship at home. This stay usually lasts two weeks to two months. It is a hassle-free and convenient way to respond to a temporary service need.
