Caregivers
Time for Self-Care
The program offers activities and socialization to adults with cognitive challenges. It provides an opportunity for caregivers to take a break from their caregiving responsibilities as well as offering educational and support resources, while volunteers serve the participants in the respite program. The program is designed to highlight capabilities, interests, and backgrounds of our participants. We customize activities to target social, spiritual, cognitive and physical needs that are stimulating and suitable.
Services have been initially offered to members of the participating congregations on a “first come” basis.
