Short Term & Hourly Adult Care Services
At The Gables Assisted Living and Memory Care we understand the importance of offering short, temporary stays where someone can receive care while also enjoying a warm, welcoming environment. Our short term and hourly adult care guests are treated with the same level of compassion and commitment to service as our full-time residents.
Hourly Adult Care
For those caring for an elderly loved one in their own home, The Gables Assisted Living and Memory Care offers hourly adult care services. Rates depend on the level of care your loved one will need, but we have options for everyone. Whether you need a break for a doctors appointment, a few hours in the office, or a day of pampering, we can be your care partner. While here, you can rest assured that your loved one enjoys activities, social interaction, and any needed assistance. That in and of itself is sometimes the reason people seek out our hourly care services.
Short Term Stays
The Gables Assisted Living and Memory Care communities have availability for short-term guests when their caregiver needs to be away overnight. Short-term stays are a good option whether you are traveling for a few days or weeks, or simply need a break in routine. This is also a great way to find out if the community is the right fit for your loved one. Anyone staying is welcome to be included in activities, amenities, and social interactions with all other residents and staff.
Caring for a loved one is a meaningful and rewarding role — but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. At The Gables Assisted Living and Memory Care, we understand that caregivers need support, too. That’s why we offer flexible hourly adult care services designed to provide peace of mind for families and enriching experiences for seniors.
Our hourly adult care program allows family caregivers the opportunity to step away during the day to attend appointments, run errands, work, or simply rest and recharge — knowing their loved one is safe, engaged, and well cared for in a welcoming environment.
While with us, participants enjoy much more than supervision. They become part of our vibrant community.
Guests can participate in engaging daily activities tailored to their interests and abilities, including:
- Group games and cognitive activities
- Creative arts and crafts
- Music and movement programs
- Social gatherings and conversation
- Light exercise and wellness activities
These opportunities promote mental stimulation, physical well-being, and meaningful social interaction — all essential components of healthy aging.
In addition to activities, our trained and compassionate staff are available to provide assistance with personal care needs, medication reminders, and mobility support as needed. For individuals living with memory loss, our structured and supportive environment offers familiarity, routine, and specialized attention designed to enhance comfort and reduce anxiety.
One of the greatest benefits of hourly adult care is balance. Caregivers can maintain their own well-being, helping prevent burnout and allowing them to continue providing loving support at home. Meanwhile, their loved one enjoys a change of scenery, new friendships, and purposeful engagement in a secure setting.
Whether used occasionally or on a regular schedule, our hourly care services are flexible to meet your family’s unique needs. There is no long-term commitment required — simply compassionate support when you need it most.
At The Gables Assisted Living and Memory Care, we believe caregiving is a shared journey. Our hourly adult care program is one more way we partner with families to provide dignity, connection, and peace of mind — for both seniors and those who love them.
