Welcome to Respite Care Atlanta
Providing adult day programs and support resources to older adults, caregivers & families in Atlanta facing cognitive challenges
For Caregivers
We know that living with a person experiencing cognitive decline requires 24/7 time-intensive care and attention.
Caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias provided an estimated average of 27.1 hours of care per week.
Caregivers are superheroes, but not superhuman. Club RCA provides them a few hours of respite to rest and recharge.
For Families
According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, over 130,000 Georgians are estimated to have Alzheimer’s Disease or related dementias. This number is expected to increase by 46%, affecting roughly 190,000 Georgians by 2035.
We understand how supporting a loved one with cognitive challenges can put a strain on families as they dedicate a lot of their personal time to caregiving.
Finding a safe and trusted place for family members and their caregivers is a growing need.
For Volunteers
Respite Care Atlanta understands the importance of providing an engaging, spiritual environment that supports families as they navigate dementia and other cognitive impairments.
Club RCA is a professionally led, volunteer-driven adult respite program designed to support caregivers and their loved ones.
Our volunteers are compassionate and committed and have been supporting the cognitive needs of our Atlanta families since 2018.

TESTIMONIALS
Best program for individual interaction as well as group interaction. Each member has a dedicated companion while attending and the volunteers are compassionate, caring, and fun. They truly love what they do. The staff is AMAZING and the music program is second to none. Highly recommend this program for anyone living with dementia.
Respite Care Atlanta is a much-needed program providing daily activities for adults with cognitive difficulties. These activities not only promote the emotional and spiritual well-being of the participants, but will also provide welcomed respite for their caregivers.
I didn't think I was going to like coming here, but now I cannot imagine going anywhere else. I have so much fun here and have made so many friends.
Sarahs’ Garden
Sarahs’ Garden honors two best friends, Sarah Kennedy and Sarah Clarke, who formed one of Atlanta’s first Alzheimer‘s support groups together. Both women cared for a parent with Alzheimer’s disease.
