Short Stay

A unique alternative for retirement living.

Consider Abbeyfield House Parkdale as a resource for convalescent care and respite care

Convalescent Care:

Following a hospital stay until able to resume independent living. Situations which could be handled at Abbeyfield include:

· Convalescence after hip replacement
· Post-operative (with visits from a visiting nurse/personal care worker as needed)
· Other conditions depending on individual assessment

Respite Care:

For a disabled or frail family member, respite care allows caregivers short-term relief e.g. when a spouse goes to hospital, when family members must go out of town, or just for relief.

Individuals need to be able to:

· Feed themselves
· Get to the dining room
· Look after their own personal care
(CommunityCare Access Centre [CCAC]
may provide personal care for those who
find this difficult).

Individuals with chronic illnesses, e.g., Parkinson’s or early dementia can be accommodated depending on the degree. Individual assessment needed.

Contact us for information on our daily, weekly, and monthly rates that start from $55 per day for bed and breakfast. Typically short stays are also for people from out of town and residents staying on a trial basis.
