Partnering closely with your medical team, we tailor our care to help you regain strength and independence, so you can comfortably return to your daily activities and routines.

What if I don’t feel ready to go home even after your transitional care discharges me?
Sometimes we need just a little extra help, and that’s okay! Since we’re all unique, recovery time is different for each of us. That’s why select Saint Therese communities have short-term respite stays available for up to four weeks. Respite guests stay in a fully furnished apartment and benefit from every amenity and convenience the community offers. Care services may also be added to your respite stay.
Many locations also offer outpatient therapy so you can continue your road to recovery with the same team you already know and trust.
Since I’m only staying at Saint Therese for a short time, can I still attend chapel services or participate in activities?
Our transitional care guests are encouraged to take advantage of everything Saint Therese has to offer! Regular Mass, ecumenical services, scheduled events and activities are just a few of the many exciting things happening every day in our communities!
