Caregiving for a loved one is a labor of love—but even the most devoted families need a break sometimes.
That’s where respite care comes in. At Maple Cottage Assisted Living Transitions in Portland, TN, we offer short-term stays that give seniors professional support while caregivers recharge, travel, or recover from life’s demands. Whether you’re from White House, Gallatin, Westmoreland, or anywhere in Sumner County, respite care can bring peace of mind for your whole family.
What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is temporary assisted living designed to provide full-service support for seniors when their primary caregiver is unavailable. Stays can range from a few days to several weeks and include:
- 24/7 assistance with activities of daily living
- Medication management
- Home-cooked meals and snacks
- Access to community activities and events
- Safe, secure environment
Think of it as a supportive bridge—either for the caregiver or for the senior transitioning between levels of care.
Who Can Benefit from Respite Care?
1. Family Caregivers
Even the most dedicated caregivers need time to rest, travel, or focus on their own health. Respite care gives you the chance to step away temporarily, knowing your loved one is in experienced, compassionate hands.
2. Seniors Recovering from Illness or Surgery
If your loved one is being discharged from the hospital but not yet ready to return home, respite care provides transitional support with meals, mobility assistance, and round-the-clock supervision.
3. Those Considering a Permanent Move
Not sure if assisted living is the right next step? A short-term stay at Maple Cottage offers a gentle introduction to our care, staff, and lifestyle—without a long-term commitment.

We strive to make each short-term stay as comfortable, enriching, and reassuring as possible—for both the resident and their family.
Because Everyone Deserves a Break
Whether you’re planning ahead or facing a sudden need, respite care can offer critical support and relief. You don’t have to do this alone—and your loved one doesn’t have to be without care.
Let Maple Cottage be your partner in rest, recovery, and renewed peace of mind.
