BeeHive Homes of Richfield #1 and BeeHive Homes of Richfield #2, facing each other across North 600 West, are the 2 communities in Richfield where families can book a short-term stay. Each home holds ten to twelve residents in a board-and-care setting: a furnished room, meals from a shared kitchen, and a small care team covering personal assistance and overnight supervision. A guest joins that daily routine for days or weeks, then heads home on a planned date.
Families call about Richfield short stays in three common situations: a caregiver covering everything alone needs genuine time away, an older adult is leaving Sevier Valley Hospital before home is fully safe, or a household wants firsthand time inside a BeeHive home before committing permanently.
What a Short Stay Covers on North 600 West
Both homes carry assisted living and memory care, delivered within the same household environment. Because they are small residential homes rather than large campuses, care for a guest with cognitive decline happens throughout the shared living space rather than in a separate locked corridor. The two homes differ by twelve versus ten beds but share a comparable structure: prepared meals, help with personal hygiene and medications, and overnight staffing. Each home sets its own minimum stay and daily rate, details a family should confirm before planning any specific window.
Paying for a Richfield Respite Stay
Respite is billed per day, separate from the long-term pricing on this page. The BeeHive homes' monthly rates of $4,100 to $4,200 prorate to roughly $137 to $140 per day, and short-stay billing typically runs above that since a room is held only briefly. A realistic Richfield daily range falls around $145 to $175; each home quotes exact current figures.
Families pay that charge privately in nearly every case. An assisted-living short stay falls entirely outside Medicare; the single provision the program carries is a brief inpatient break for patients enrolled in hospice, a separate benefit with no relevance to a Richfield board-and-care stay. Utah's Medicaid waivers support ongoing long-term placements for eligible individuals, not short private bookings. Veterans' benefit programs and long-term-care policies sometimes reduce the total and are worth checking before the stay is arranged.
Availability in a Two-Home City
Richfield is the Sevier County seat, about 8,200 residents, with roughly 1,100 people aged 65 or older by recent Census estimates. With only two small homes offering short stays, and each holding ten to twelve beds shared between permanent and short-stay guests, the available room is the whole constraint. One full home leaves a single local alternative.
Why a Short Stay Appeals in Richfield
A caregiver in a rural county gets a planned break rather than an anxious absence. Someone stepping down from Sevier Valley Hospital lands in a fully staffed setting minutes away, continuity of meals and medication intact. For a household circling a permanent decision, two weeks inside BeeHive Homes of Richfield #1 or #2 reveals what no tour visit can: how the small-home rhythm feels day to day and whether an intimate ten-to-twelve-resident scale is the right match.
What a Local Advisor Confirms for Richfield
Both BeeHive homes on North 600 West handle assisted living and memory-care guests, yet which one holds a furnished room open on specific dates, what it charges per day, and what minimum stay applies are details that shift with occupancy and never appear in any public listing.
A local advisor confirms that picture first, narrowing the Richfield search to the home with a room available. Reach out here to get a current read on both North 600 West locations.
