Resources for Families & Caregivers
When loved ones get older and their needs begin to change, entire families are affected. Caring for them well includes caring for those around them. Many working adults are juggling the demands of work and families as well as caring for parents. We can help with information and resources. Visit our store for books and other tools to support you and the ones you love. And to support you in caring for yourself, we've provided a list of peaceful places in the area where you can escape for a weekend (or even an hour or two) and restore balance.
As our service evolves, look to this section for resources that support families in their efforts to stay strong, balanced and healthy. We'll also include information about educational programs that may be of interest to both professional and family caregivers. In the meantime, please sign up for our email correspondence at the bottom of this page and we'll send you information via email.
Need a Break
from Caregiving?
Sometimes getting away can help to prevent exhaustion. Taking a break to take care of yourself can lift your spirits and provide you with the fresh perspective you need to make clear decisions.
We asked friends and neighbors to recommend their favorite getaways - places in nature that are quiet and restorative, not too expensive, and either local or close enough to make a weekend trip reasonable.
