Short Stays & Guest Suites
A welcoming place, whether for respite care, trial stays, or a season of rest.
A Warm Welcome, Even for a Short Time
Most residents at Peterborough make their home here permanently, enjoying the full rhythm of community life. But not every stay needs to be long term. For those recovering from a hospital visit, exploring retirement living, or simply needing a short, supportive stay, our short-term options offer the same comfort, care, and connection as permanent living. With 24/7 staff, balanced meals, and daily activities, it’s an easy place to rest, recover, and feel at home.
Short Stays
Short stays offer comfort, care, and professional support in a warm, welcoming setting. They’re ideal for anyone recovering from illness or surgery, giving caregivers a temporary break, or exploring retirement living for the first time. With 24/7 staff, balanced meals, and engaging daily programs, it’s easy to feel cared for and at ease.
