Short-Term Stay

At Divine Assisted Living Residence, our Short-Term Stay offers seniors a warm, homelike place to receive care for a limited time. Our residences are cozy, with no more than four residents per home, and set in family-oriented neighbourhoods. Even a brief stay feels personal, settled, and safe.

There are times when a little extra support makes all the difference. You may be recovering from a change in health, adjusting to a new care arrangement, or between living situations. Whatever the reason, we aim to make your stay as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

Every stay is centred on the individual. We take time to understand each resident’s needs, routines, and preferences, so that care is respectful, practical, and tailored to them.

When Might a Short-Term Stay Help?

A Short-Term Stay may be a good fit for seniors who:

• Need temporary help with everyday activities
• Are going through a change in their living or care arrangements
• Need extra support while family or usual caregivers are unavailable
• Would benefit from a safe, supportive setting for a limited time
• Need time to explore longer-term care or living options
• Are adjusting to a period of transition

Every situation is different. Our team will talk through yours and help you decide whether a Short-Term Stay is the right option.

What a Short-Term Stay Includes

Support is discussed in advance and shaped by each resident’s needs and agreed care plan. It may include:

Personal Care and Daily Living Assistance Help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and personal hygiene, always with respect for privacy, dignity, and choice.

Mobility and Everyday Activities Appropriate support with moving around and daily routines, so residents stay comfortable and involved.

Home-Style Meals and Nutritional Support Nourishious meals and snacks prepared with personal tastes and dietary needs in mind.

Medication Reminders Medication reminders included in the care plan and permitted under applicable requirements.

24/7 Care and Support Nurses and Personal Support Workers are available around the clock, day and night.

Companionship and Social Engagement Friendly conversation, activities, and social amenities that creates a welcome feel for residents from the first day.

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

Transportation Support Help getting to appointments and essential outings, subject to availability.

A Room That Feels Like Yours Residents are welcome to bring familiar furniture and belongings, or we can furnish the room to their choice, so even a short stay feels like home.

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

Care That Puts You at Ease

Staying somewhere new, even briefly, can mean changes to familiar routines. We listen to each resident, respect their choices, and adapt care to their needs, so every person feels included, respected, and comfortable.

We also know families may have questions when arranging temporary care for someone they love. With the resident’s consent, we keep families and relevant care professionals informed, supporting a smoother transition and consistent care.

Support to Make Your Stay More Comfortable

Depending on individual needs and availability, additional assistance may be arranged, including:

• Additional housekeeping
• Meal preparation and chef services
• Transportation to appointments and essential outings
• Support attending healthcare appointments or hospital visits
• Other practical help agreed as part of the care arrangement

Any additional service is discussed and confirmed before the stay begins.

A Temporary Stay With Care You Can Trust

You may only need support for a short time, but your comfort, dignity, and well-being matter just as much. We offer a safe haven where seniors are treated with dignity, respect, and empathy, and where families feel informed and reassured.

Temporary Support. Personalized Care. A Home Away From Home.
