| Respite Services- Respite is offered on a weekly basis on-site and can also be provided in home by a trained volunteer. Respite provides caregivers time away from the patients. During this time caregivers can go grocery shopping, get a hair cut, or just sit back, relax and soak in a tub. On-site respite utilizes socialization and group activities to keep the clients active throughout the day. Respite is now being provided on a first-come-first-served basis to the first 15 patients. Caregivers must call in to make a reservation by 5 pm on the Wednesday before the next respite day. On-site respite is provided in the Parlor at Saint Paul's United Methodist Church on every Friday of each month from 9 am - 3 pm. Dates on calendar page. |
