The Hamlets at Penticton provides respite care or temporary accommodation for residents requiring short-term care and supervision. There are many reasons why respite care is needed; some seniors may feel more comfortable staying at The Hamlets while their families are out of town on vacation or business, while other patients may require an elevated level of care for a short period of time following an illness or accident. This type of accommodation and support can also serve as a lifeline for caregivers, encouragement and the very best in personal and medical care.
