Respite Care in Grand Island just got a lot easier.

Welcome Relief When Needed.

Sometimes seniors who have recently had surgery or intensive inpatient rehabilitation may find they are not quite ready to return home when they are discharged. 

We offer the help you need! The Heritage at Sagewood – located in Grand Island, Nebraska – now offers short-term Respite Care for seniors who are not yet ready to return home after a hospital or rehab stay.  

Respite Care is a great way to “fill in the gap” between hospital, rehab and home. Respite Care offers that extra bit of assistance, support, and time to get stronger and healthier before returning home.  

At The Heritage at Sagewood, we work with your physical therapists and your primary care physician to coordinate continued physical therapy, occupational therapy, and any other assistance you may require, and we’ll bring it to you right here on our campus. When you are ready to return home, we will make that step easy too.

Additional Care Is Offered at The Heritage at Sagewood. We also offer Assisted Living and Memory Care at The Heritage at Sagewood. Our dedication to highly personalized care, assistance with activities of daily living, and a commitment to maximizing your independence is what sets us apart in the Grand Island area.

Whether you provide care and support to a loved one in your own home or you visit them regularly to make sure they are well, being a caregiver for a senior can be demanding.

“I came for a respite stay while my daughter and her
husband went on a trip. When they came back, I said,
‘I love you both, but I’d like to stay here with my new friends.’”
