Argento Westchester provides respite care in order to assist with comfortable, comprehensive recovery after an illness or injury and to allow family caregivers the opportunity to rest themselves.
In order to provide the best care possible to your loved one, you need also to provide care for yourself so that you may meet the daily demands of this rewarding and challenging role.
Your loved one will benefit from the same meals, activities, programs, care and attention that our full-time residents receive, whether they come for a few weeks, or for an entire month.
Respite care is an ideal solution for a family caregiver that may needs time for:
You can feel at ease knowing the care of your loved one is in the hands of compassionate professionals at Argento Westchester. When they are here, they are home.
The same quality of care that is given to all our full-time residents applies to our respite residents as well.
Our respite guests enjoy the full Argento Westchester experience. This includes a fully furnished apartment, three chef-prepared meals daily, housekeeping, laundry services, and 24-hour access to our care team. Guests are also welcome to participate in all our community activities and social events, just like our long-term residents.
Respite stays are flexible to meet your family’s needs. Whether you need coverage for a few days while a caregiver is on vacation, or a few weeks for post-surgery recovery, we can create a schedule that works for you. Please contact us to discuss minimum stay requirements and availability.
Yes! Many families use a short-term respite stay as a trial period. It gives your loved one a chance to experience our dining, meet our staff, and see if our community feels like home—all without the pressure of a long-term commitment. It’s a great way to ease into the idea of senior living.
We provide the same level of personal assistance to our respite guests as we do to our permanent residents. This includes help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. If your loved one requires specific medical attention, we will assess their needs prior to admission to ensure we can safely support them.
We understand that sometimes the need for respite care is urgent. While we recommend planning ahead to guarantee apartment availability, we can often move quickly to accommodate families. The first step is a quick assessment to understand your loved one’s care needs, after which we can finalize the details for their stay.
Short-term stays at Argento Westchester are designed to provide relief for family caregivers. Common reasons families utilize our Respite Care in Los Angeles services include:
