Support for Caregivers

We provide supportive services and information to the formal and informal caregivers of seniors in our community.

• Respite Services: Trained respite volunteers are carefully matched with families who need a temporary break from caregiving. (Overnight and 24 hour care is not available but referrals can be made)
  
  

• Education and Support: Ongoing education on the specific needs and concerns of caregivers is provided. This support includes a newsletter and a peer support group especially designed for caregivers.
  
  

• Information and Referral: Find out about resources available to you as a caregiver.
