Grand Valley Senior Daybreak celebrates 15 years of caregiver respite
If you or anyone you know takes care of an older family member requiring 24-hour care, you know the stress and strain on the caregiver.
No matter how much you love someone, it’s just too much for one person to take without an occasional break.
That’s where programs like Grand Valley Senior Daybreak come in. They offer a safe place to take older people who are suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
Grand Valley Senior Daybreak celebrates its 15th anniversary today with cake and punch at an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. at its location at Crossroads United Methodist Church, 599 30 Road, in the Fellowship Hall.
Executive Director Marilyn Griffin said VA and Medicaid may cover expenses for eligible patients.
Caregivers often are the last to admit they need a break. If you’re in a position to nudge someone to take one, here’s your chance.
