Caregiving for a loved one can be a few hours a week or a full-time job. Either way, understanding your long and short-term options matters.

Respite care and assisted living serve completely different purposes, even though both provide professional support. One offers temporary relief. The other provides ongoing care. Knowing which you need right now makes all the difference.

Our latest blog breaks down the types of respite care available, who each option serves best, and how short-term stays can actually help families make better long-term decisions. Plus, we answer the question caregivers ask most: how long can you actually stay in respite care?

If you're managing care responsibilities, this guide is for you.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Today is a day to reflect on our history and educate others about racial justice. We participated in MLK word searches and crossword puzzles as well as watched an MLK remembrance documentary. We thank him for his service in the fight for justice ✊️

Here's something most people don't realize: the term "facility" peaked in the 1990s and has been declining ever since. There's a reason for that.

Today's older adults aren't looking for institutional settings that feel clinical. They're streaming content, booking travel, and rejecting stereotypes about aging. Many don't even want to be called "seniors."

So, why would they move to a "facility?" Simple answer: they don't.

Our latest blog reveals what's changed about senior living and why the words we use actually matter. The difference between senior living facilities and communities isn't just semantics.
