For Caregivers
Caregivers, do you need a break?
Caring for a senior with dementia is challenging, and The Pastime Club gives caregivers a needed break. While your loved one benefits from The Pastime Club program, you receive the gift of time.
Maybe you want to:
- Schedule an overdue medical or dental appointment?
- Get a haircut or manicure?
- Go shopping, or have lunch with a friend?
- Tackle a household chore uninterrupted?
- Take a nap.
- Do Nothing ----- “breathe”
Whatever you choose to do you will be comfortable knowing the staff at The Pastime Club is taking excellent care of your loved one.
You will also benefit from the guidance and support you will receive from staff. Referrals to other community agencies can assist you in your efforts to care for your loved one.
