Respite Care in Council Bluffs, Iowa, 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 returning home and living alone is not possible, 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. 

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 feel ready to return home, we will make that step easy too.

The Heritage at Fox Run is proud to offer its residents and area seniors quality home health care through our partnership with Heritage OnCare. 

Heritage OnCare offers a variety of Skilled Nursing Services and compassionate Hospice Care in the comfort of your home, wherever that may be. We also are able to bring you a variety of rehabilitation services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

Relief for Caregivers Is Right Here.

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.
