Provides qualified volunteers that can go into the home of a caregiver who is providing 24-hour care to an impaired older adult. Or, persons are served in a comfortable group setting under the supervision of a professional staff person and trained volunteers. The older adult may have Alzheimer's Disease or a related disorder, a stroke, Parkinson's, or be frail. It also provides a new companion and friend for the impaired older adult. Respite care is an opportunity for the whole family to receive information and support for now and the future.
Respite care is available to Monroe and Owen County residents.
There is no fee for volunteers in the home.
