Respite Care MinistriesMission, Description and Vision

Mission

Respite Care Ministries strives to improve the quality of life for individualsand families coping with Alzheimers disease and related disorders(ADRD).

Description

Respite is a break for a short period of time from anything distressing ortrying. Respite care is a preventative care strategy that strengthens families,protects their health and well-being and allows them to continue providingcare at home. Many families take great pride and joy in providing care totheir loved ones, but, the physical, emotional and financial consequences

for the family caregiver can be overwhelming without some support.

Caregivers are given time to take care of themselves.
