The Verona Caregiver support group is a fantastic group of people who support each other in all stages of caregiving and meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10:00. Club 108 is available as respite for your loved one while you attend if needed.
If you know a caregiver and have some time to spare, ask them if they need a break. Provide an afternoon of respite. Wash the windows.
Anything you can do to help the caregiver will be appreciated more than you will know. Many caregivers won’t ask for help, so by reaching out to them would be so, so helpful.
If you have any questions, please call Becky Losby at 845-7471.
