Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things you can do — but it can also be exhausting. Many families in the Salt Lake Valley find themselves needing a short break to recharge, travel, or simply rest. That’s where respite care comes in.
At Holladay Home for the Elderly, we offer flexible respite care in our small 15-resident home. It gives families peace of mind while their loved one enjoys a safe, warm, and engaging environment.
What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is short-term assisted living (typically a few days to a few weeks) that provides:
- 24-hour supervision and support
- Help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders)
- Home-cooked meals and snacks
- Social activities and companionship
It’s designed to give the primary caregiver a temporary break while ensuring their loved one is well cared for.
Why Families Choose Respite Care at Holladay Home
- Truly small and personal — With only 15 residents, your loved one receives much more individual attention than in a large facility.
- Feels like home — Our residents enjoy home-cooked meals, comfortable rooms, and a peaceful garden setting.
- Flexible stays — You can book a few days, a week, or longer — whatever your family needs.
- Hospice and waiver friendly — We regularly welcome respite guests on the New Choices Waiver or with hospice support.
Common Reasons Families Use Respite Care
- You need to travel or attend an important event
- You’re feeling burned out and need time to rest
- Your loved one is recovering from surgery or illness and needs extra support for a short time
- You simply want a trial run before deciding on long-term care
Many families tell us that after a respite stay, their loved one actually asks to come back because they enjoyed the experience so much.
