We offer family caregivers a break from the daily tasks of caring for their aging loved ones. Caregivers and aging loved ones each engage in their own separate activities and opportunities. Our program’s goal is to give caregivers peace of mind and rejuvenation. Pathways for Caregivers is offered the third Thursday of every month from 10:30am to 2:30pm year-round. There is no cost to participants.
For caregivers, we offer:
- Support group
- Fun, stress reducing activities on campus
- Health and wellness opportunities
- Nature walks and beautiful beach views and access
- A place to make new friends and gain resources
- Lunch and refreshments provided
- Opportunity to tend to their own needs and well-being off-campus
For aging loved ones, we offer:
- Supervised one-on-one activities with trained volunteers
- Music
- Pet therapy
- Lunch and refreshments provided
