Centerville's 1 respite-offering community is Sunflower Ridge Assisted Living, a 24-bed home on East Center Street providing full assisted-living care around the clock. A short stay there is temporary by design: a furnished room with prepared meals, hands-on help with bathing and medications, and overnight staffing, everything a long-term resident receives, with a departure date set at booking.
Three situations send Centerville families toward a short stay at Sunflower Ridge: a caregiver needs genuine time off to travel or to recover; an older adult is stepping down from Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful, stable but not yet safe at home; or a household wants direct time inside the community before committing to a permanent move.
What a Sunflower Ridge Short Stay Involves
From the first morning, a respite guest joins Sunflower Ridge's daily rhythm: meals at the table, dressing and medication help, activities, and staff on hand overnight. The care is the same as what long-term residents receive; there is no lighter version for a short booking. Because Sunflower Ridge is an assisted-living community with no secured memory-care wing, it is well suited to guests who need substantial daily support in a staffed, non-locked setting. For a family whose situation calls for a dementia-appropriate locked environment, a local advisor can locate a secured memory-care short stay in Davis County, matching the need rather than defaulting to proximity.
What Centerville Respite Costs and Who Pays
Sunflower Ridge bills respite by the day, not the month. The monthly figure on this page reflects Sunflower Ridge's long-term pricing, not its short-stay rate. Davis County assisted-living respite runs roughly $150 to $195 each day in 2026, landing above a prorated monthly cost because the community holds and resets the room for a brief window.
For a Centerville assisted-living stay, Medicare pays nothing toward respite. Its one narrow provision is a brief inpatient admission for someone already enrolled in hospice, which has no bearing on a community short stay. Utah Medicaid waivers support sustained residential placements for eligible residents, not short private bookings. Two things worth checking before assuming the full daily cost falls to the family: certain veterans' benefit programs include respite, and some long-term-care insurance policies reimburse a portion.
Availability at a 24-Bed Community
About one in six Centerville residents is 65 or older, placing roughly 2,800 to 3,400 people in a city of about 17,500. At Sunflower Ridge, a single open room makes a short stay possible; a full house closes it. Booking a week or two ahead gives a Centerville family better odds than a same-day call.
Why Families Choose a Centerville Short Stay
A stay at Sunflower Ridge keeps an older adult anchored in Davis County, near family, familiar doctors, and the same neighborhood connections they rely on. For the caregiver, a planned Sunflower Ridge stay means a genuine break, with meals and medications handled around the clock. For a family approaching a permanent decision, two weeks on East Center Street provides what a tour cannot: how the meals land, how staff engage, and whether the daily pace fits. Several Centerville respite stays become permanent arrangements, not from any persuasion but because living there resolved what was previously uncertain.
Talking Through a Centerville Respite Search
A local advisor provides what a listing cannot: whether Sunflower Ridge has a room open on the dates a family needs, the current daily rate, and the minimum-stay floor. For families who require a secured memory-care setting, the advisor also identifies the appropriate Davis County community, so care level shapes the decision.
