Participants can enjoy fellowship, lunch, and activities while caregivers can enjoy support group meetings, education, and time away from caregiving. This is an opportunity offered in collaboration with Coon Rapids United Methodist Church on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month.
*An assessment must be completed prior to attending group respite. To schedule a needs assessment, please contact the Coordinator of the Family Caregiver Connection, Jill Thomas, at 763-324-1608.
