SUMMARY:The Gathering: Out-of-Home Group Respite
DESCRIPTION:The Gathering is a daytime\, out-of-home group respite program for caregivers and care receivers.

The program provides family caregivers the opportunity to receive several hours of respite. Dedicated and trained volunteers\, supervised by a social worker or nurse\, operate the program. Participants can enjoy fellowship\, lunch\, and activities while caregivers can enjoy support group meetings\, education\, and time away from caregiving.

To schedule a needs assessment\, please contact the Coordinator of the Family Caregiver Connection\, Jill Thomas\, at 763-324-1608.

SUMMARY:The Gathering: Out-of-Home Group Respite
