Respite Stays at Orchard Hill: A Safe and Social Winter for Seniors

October 1, 2025

Winter in New England has its charm, but it can present real challenges for seniors and their families. Freezing temperatures, snow storms, power outages and icy sidewalks frequently result in real concerns about being at home alone and obstacles to leaving the house. For older adults living on their own, the winter season can lead to social isolation and increased safety risks. 


At Orchard Hill Assisted Living, we understand these challenges. That’s why our Welcome Inn Suite of Programs offers flexible respite stay options providing a safe, supported, and engaged environment while also giving individuals, their families and caregivers much needed peace of mind.


The Welcome Visit Program

For those looking for a safe option during the winter months or are curious about assisted living as a long-term option, our Welcome Visit Program offers a no-pressure way to experience Orchard Hill firsthand. Guests can enjoy up to 60 days of living in our community, with access to all the same care and amenities as full-time residents.


This program includes:

  • A 60-day experience to explore daily life at Orchard Hill
  • No obligation to commit to long-term residency
  • Multi-disciplinary support and guidance for families and residents
  • An all-inclusive, discounted monthly fee


The Welcome Retreat Program

For a shorter stay, our 30-day Welcome Retreat Program is designed to support seniors following rehabilitation or a medical event. It’s also a wonderful option for caregivers needing support during holiday travel, work demands, or other responsibilities.


A Safe and Social Winter at Orchard Hill:

Both programs provide not only safety during the harsh winter months, they also connect seniors with a vibrant, warm community where they will enjoy wonderful chef-prepared meals, engaging daily activities and the support of our compassionate caregivers. Orchard Hill Assisted Living is a place of comfort, connection, and care providing peace of mind for families and a welcoming home away from home for seniors.
