Couples Stay

We understand that the bond between partners is special. When one or both partners need extra care, couples often worry about being separated, losing familiar routines, or adjusting to an unfamiliar place.

At Divine Assisted Living Residence, our Couples Stay lets partners live together in a warm, homelike setting while each receives compassionate care tailored to their own needs. Our residences are cozy, with no more than four residents per home, and set in family-oriented neighbourhoods, so couples are known, welcomed, and never treated as a number.

Needing care should not mean giving up the comfort of companionship. We help couples keep their connection, enjoy meaningful time together, and feel comfortable, respected, and valued.

A Care Arrangement That Respects Your Relationship

Every couple has their own story, routines,culture and way of life. We protect those personal connections while providing support that reflects each partner’s circumstances.

Whether one partner needs more support than the other or both need regular daily support, we take the time to understand each person’s needs and discuss an arrangement that works for them.

Our person-centred approach sees each partner as an individual and honours the relationship they share, supporting their dignity, privacy, independence, and quality of life together.

Who Can Benefit From a Couples Stay?

A Couples Stay may be a good fit for couples who:

• Want to stay together while receiving additional care and support
• Have different levels of independence or personal care needs
• Need help with everyday activities and routines
• Would thrive in a supportive, homelike setting
• Want to keep their companionship and familiar daily routines
• Are exploring a longer-term home that welcomes both partners
• Need a temporary stay together, where available and appropriate

Every couple is different. We will talk with both partners about their needs and preferences to see whether a Couples Stay is right for them.

What Support Can Couples Receive?

Care is planned around each partner’s assessed needs and agreed care arrangements. Depending on individual requirements and availability, support may include:

Personal Care and Daily Living Assistance Help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and personal hygiene, with respect for each partner’s privacy and choices.

Mobility and Everyday Activities Appropriate assistance with mobility, transfers, and routines, based on each partner’s abilities and needs.

Nutrious Meals and Nutritional Support Nourishing meals that consider each person’s dietary needs and, where appropriate, the couple’s shared tastes.

Laundry and Light Housekeeping Laundry assistance and everyday housekeeping to keep the home clean and comfortable.

Transportation Support Help getting to appointments and essential outings.

A Private room That Feels Like Yours Couples may bring their own furniture and cherished belongings, or we can furnish their room to their choice.

A Safe and Secure Home 24/7 CCTV monitoring and round-the-clock caregivers bring peace of mind to couples and their families.

Person-Centred Care for Both Partners

Being a couple does not mean having identical care needs. One partner may be independent with most activities while the other needs more frequent help. In other cases, both partners need support in different ways.

We recognize these differences and shape care around each person while supporting their relationship. We listen to both partners, take their preferences seriously, and work toward an arrangement that promotes dignity, comfort, and independence wherever possible.

With consent, we can also keep family members and relevant healthcare professionals informed to support continuity of care.

Greater Peace of Mind for Families

Families want to know their loved ones can stay together while receiving the support they need. Our team will discuss the couple’s circumstances, care requirements, and preferred arrangements to help find the right option.

Depending on needs and availability, additional services may include meal preparation, extra housekeeping, transportation, and support attending healthcare appointments or hospital visits. All additional arrangements are discussed and confirmed in advance.

A Shared Place to Feel Comfortable and Supported

Choosing care as a couple is about more than finding a place to stay. It is about preserving connection, respecting each partner’s needs, and making sure both feel valued. Our aim is to provide a safe haven where couples can keep sharing meaningful moments, with dignity, respect, and empathy.

Togetherness, Dignity, and Care That Puts You First.
