There could be a variety of reasons that you might need a short-term option like the Rejuvenate Wellness Program at AgeCare Governor’s Walk. We understand these unique situations from our many years of experience, and we have designed respite stay solutions that respond to those needs. All our guests enjoy all amenities and quickly become part of the family.
Rejuvenate Wellness Program
Independence with Support
Relief for CaregiversEven the most dedicated caregivers experience times when they can no longer manage with their caregiving roles. Perhaps there is a long-awaited vacation or planned surgery and their loved one cannot be left alone during this time. Respite stays are extremely popular and can range from a few days to a couple months, depending on your specific needs.
Respite and Convalescent StaysA hospital stay or recent illness often means that home is not the safest or most beneficial option. Our caring and talented staff are trained to support seniors as they regain their strength and prepare them to return home, when they feel ready.
The staff would go out of their way to help us, aid us and make us feel extra well. Housekeeping would surpass themselves. Nursing was so superb and so generous with our needs.” – Resident, Rejuvenate Wellness Program
Wouldn’t it be nice to be surrounded by like-minded neighbours who want to get the most out of life? A vibrant community filled with social opportunities and beautiful outdoor walking pathways to explore?
Offering a socially active and independent lifestyle, coupled with the reassurance that care and supports are available should you need it, makes living at AgeCare Governor’s Walk the easiest decision you have ever made.
Enjoyment should be effortless & a natural part of everyday life
