Respite Care in Frisco: What You Should Know

Short-Term Senior Care at The Landing at Watermere Frisco

Caring for a loved one who needs assistance is an act of love—but it’s also a lot of work. Caregivers often give everything they have, day in and day out. That’s why respite care is so important. It gives caregivers a short break while making sure their loved ones are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

At The Landing at Watermere Frisco in Frisco, Texas, we offer respite care that is warm, welcoming, and designed to give everyone peace of mind. Whether you need just a few days or a couple of weeks, our community is here to support you.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is short-term care for seniors. It’s often used when a caregiver needs time away to rest, go on a trip, handle work, or deal with personal needs. While the caregiver is away, the senior stays in a community like ours and gets full-time support.

This type of care is helpful for many reasons:

  • It gives family caregivers a much-needed break.
  • It helps families test out a senior living community before making a long-term move.
  • It provides care after a hospital stay or medical event when someone isn’t ready to return home.

At The Landing at Watermere Frisco, we specialize in respite care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other memory conditions.

How We Provide Respite Care in Frisco

We make respite stays simple, safe, and supportive from day one. Here’s how it works:

1. Quick and Easy Setup

Our team helps families get everything ready. We begin with a simple health assessment to understand your loved one’s needs. From there, we create a personalized care plan tailored just for them.

2. Flexible Scheduling

Whether you need help for just a few days, a week, or longer, we work with your schedule. Our respite program is available year-round and can often be set up quickly.

3. Full Memory Care & Assisted Living Services

During their stay, respite guests get access to the same high-quality care as our full-time residents. That includes:

  • 24/7 support from trained caregivers
  • Medication management
  • Nutritious meals and snacks
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Help with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, and grooming

4. Engaging Activities

We believe every day should be meaningful. Our respite guests are invited to join in community activities like:

  • Music and art therapy
  • Fitness and wellness classes
  • Social games and group events
  • Memory-enhancing exercises
  • Time outdoors in secure, peaceful spaces

Your loved one won’t just be safe—they’ll be part of a vibrant, loving community.

Why Families Choose Respite Care at The Landing at Watermere Frisco

Families in Frisco trust The Landing at Watermere Frisco for a few key reasons.

Relief for the Caregiver

Taking care of someone with memory loss and other needs can be exhausting. Caregivers often put their own health and needs last. Respite care gives you a chance to take a break—without feeling guilty.

Our building is designed specifically for memory care and assisted living. It’s a safe, secure space with comforting features and calming routines. Everything is planned with your loved one’s safety, comfort, and dignity in mind.

Trained and Caring Staff

Our caregivers receive special training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. They know how to respond with patience, compassion, and respect. Every member of our team is here because they truly care about making life better for seniors and their families.

A Preview of Long-Term Living

Some families use respite care as a “trial run” for long-term assisted living or memory care. It gives both the caregiver and the loved one a chance to get to know our community before making a longer commitment.

Many families who start with respite care later decide to stay.
