What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is a short-term stay in an assisted living or memory care setting, designed to give caregivers a temporary break. Whether for a few days, a week, or longer, respite care allows families to step away knowing their loved one is safe, supported, and comfortable.

At BeeHive Homes of St. George, respite care guests receive the same all-inclusive services as our full-time residents. That means private accommodations, home-cooked meals, assistance with daily activities, medication management, and the warm companionship of our caregivers. Stays are flexible and affordable, priced at $175 per night, with no minimum stay and no admission fee.

Why Choose BeeHive Homes of St. George for Respite Care?

Our homes are more than facilities — they are places where seniors feel valued and cared for as family. Snow Canyon features just 11 private rooms, while our secured Memory Care home has 9 private rooms designed specifically for those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. This intentionally small size allows for personalized attention that larger communities often can’t provide.

When seniors come for respite stays, they don’t just receive care — they are welcomed into a community. Guests enjoy cozy shared spaces, freshly prepared meals, quiet afternoons in sunlit living rooms, or moments on the porch enjoying Southern Utah’s red rock views. These touches help respite guests feel at home, even if their stay is only for a few days.

Benefits for Family Caregivers

For family caregivers, respite care can be life-changing. Caring for a parent, spouse, or loved one is rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care allows caregivers to:

  • Take time for personal rest and self-care
  • Travel or attend important events without worry
  • Manage their own health or appointments
  • Prevent burnout and recharge emotionally
  • Return to caregiving with renewed energy and patience

Families often express relief knowing that BeeHive Homes of St. George provides a safe, supportive environment where their loved one will be treated with dignity and respect during their short stay.
