Respite Care

CareOne offers Short Term Services for individuals in need of 24-hour nursing care for short periods of time.  This Respite Care is typically beneficial to caregivers who are taking a vacation, are on a business trip, or who simply need a caregiving break.

Specialized Short Term Alzheimer’s Care

CareOne offers specialized services for Residents living with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia.  CareOne Harmony Village Units operate as separate and distinct areas within our Assisted Living Communities.  Harmony Village Staff have been trained in techniques that enhance communication and care for people living with these diagnoses.  Our Activity and Recreation Programs are tailored for individuals with memory impairments and focus on each Resident’s abilities, not his or her disabilities.

Most CareOne Centers utilize Physicians who are licensed Geriatricians, specializing in the clinical needs of older adults.  Typically these Geriatricians are the primary care Physician for Residents on our Long Term Care Units and are trained to effectively work with the needs of the Alzheimer’s patient.
