These weekends offer the family caregiver 48 hours free of caregiving responsibilities, and the individual with memory loss benefits from a weekend of stimulating social and recreational activities. Families who have used our Camps for Caring report that their family members show increased sociability following the camp and usually ask to come back again. FCA also offers a Caregiver Retreat twice each year. These retreats are designed for caregivers to get some respite by getting away to a tranquil country setting for a weekend to feel pampered and rejuvenated. Discussion groups, relaxation exercises, massage therapy, delicious home cooked meals and evening entertainment are all part of the Caregiver Retreat experience.
Gift certificates are available.
The next retreat is scheduled for October 23-25 of this year. If you are ready to take a break, but cannot afford to pay for respite assistance, please inquire about FCA's scholarship program for short-term respite . Our staff can also help you evaluate what kind of respite package or other services would be most beneficial for you and your family member. All rights reserved.
