The Center s in-home respite care service sends trained professionals to the family s home to care for the Alzheimer s sufferer for 4 to 8 hours each week, giving the caregiver an opportunity to visit friends, run errands or just relax.
Families pay one flat fee per month for the service they receive.
The fee is based on a sliding scale, depending on the family s ability to pay. The Center also provides other services relating to Alzheimer s, including counseling, emergency services, information and referral to other community services. Call 971-7155 for additional details. Seating is limited. For information and tickets, call Debra Werner at the Temple office at 928-0410.
