Short term stay
A safe stay, for as long as you need.
Sometimes care needs a short address. Whether a family caregiver is recovering, traveling, or simply needs a break, a short term stay at Pine Needle offers the same personalized care, home-cooked meals, and warm environment our full-time residents enjoy — with a minimum stay of 30 days.
Families are always welcome to tour the home
What’s included
Everything a full-time resident enjoys.
A room ready for arrival
A private or semi-private room, furnished and waiting — personal touches from home are welcome.
24-hour assistance
Thoughtful help with daily routines, from bathing to bedtime, from a team that knows every resident by name.
Medication support
Medications are managed by our experienced care team, on schedule, every time.
Home-cooked meals
Three meals and snacks each day, shared around our family table.
Everyday living handled
Housekeeping, laundry, and local transportation are all part of the stay.
Days with life in them
Full participation in daily activities, outings, and social events — never just room and board.
Who it’s for
A short stay, a real difference.
- Families who need a break. A caregiver recovering, traveling, or simply resting, with peace of mind while they do.
- Trying assisted living first. A way to experience Pine Needle before making a longer-term decision.
- Recovery after a hospital stay. Extra help and companionship while home isn’t quite ready.
Minimum stay: 30 days
Beyond that, the length of a stay is flexible. Short stays are often the easiest way to see if Pine Needle feels like home.
