The Vacation and Recovery Program

Richfield Retirement Community offers short-term, temporary care options through our Vacation and Recovery Stay Program.  This program, available in all three of our assisted living facilities, is ideal for:

 

• Family Members who need to take a break from their everyday responsibilities as caregivers. Our program affords family members the opportunity to vacation, travel, deal with business or personal affairs, or simply take a needed rest from the stress and strain of round-the-clock caregiving.
• Patients who have completed a hospital stay or rehabilitation, but feel they would benefit from an added period of professional care before returning home.
• Those who have undergone same day surgery or other outpatient procedures and want a day or two of rest before resuming their daily routines.
• This program also gives prospective residents and their families the opportunity to evaluate the benefits of assisted living at Richfield before making a permanent move
  

Vacation/Recovery stays can be designed to meet your needs for as little as two days or for as long as a month.  The choice is yours.  If you or a loved one might benefit from temporary care, the following questions and answers will give you further insight into this program,

 

How does the Vacation and Recovery Program work?
Patients must be evaluated by the Richfield care team to determine individual care needs and complete the necessary paperwork prior to admission.

If the patient is recovering from subacute or short-term rehabilitation, he or she must no longer be eligible for Medicare Part A-related benefits.

Once admitted, patients are welcome to stay as long as they like. The decision is up to you.

 

What type of accommodations are available?
Temporary guests have their own private or semi-private room. Each room is attractively furnished and includes a private bath.  Housekeeping, linens and dining services are provided.  Three delicious meals are served daily and  snacks and beverages are always available upon request.

 

Are support services available?
Our assisted living facilities provide a supportive environment where staff is available round-the-clock, medications are administered, and assistance with personal care is provided.

 

Does this type of care qualify for coverage by Medicare or other insurance?
The Vacation and Recovery Stay Program is an affordably-priced private pay option. This means that Medicare does not cover room and board expenses.  We suggest you consult your insurance company, as some private insurance plans cover room and board expenses for assisted living. In addition, Medicare Part B or other private insurance may cover some optional services such as physical, occupational or speech therapy.
