OUR PROGRAM - Rest & Rec
Now Launching: A Lifeline for Caregivers. A Place of Joy for Seniors.
β
We’re excited to introduce a new Respite Program for Ashland and Bayfield Counties, created for adults 55+ living with dementia and the caregivers who love them.
This program fills a critical gap—and it’s needed now.
β
Our drop-in respite centers will run 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. at local churches, led by trained volunteers through Faith in Action - Ashland & Bayfield Counties.
Seniors enjoy gentle, engaging activities—puzzles, crafts, reading, conversation, and companionship—while caregivers finally get time to rest, run errands, or recharge.
β
We’re grateful that United Presbyterian Congregational Church is our first community partner, generously donating space to help launch this much-needed program.
β
π Volunteers urgently needed!
We’re looking for Activity Buddies—caring people willing to sit, chat, read, play games, create, and connect. No medical care required. Just patience, kindness, and presence.
β
β Safe, supportive environment
β Designed for participants who can manage personal hygiene
β Improves quality of life for seniors
β Reduces caregiver stress and burnout
β
Training is FREE.
The impact is priceless.
β
This program hasn’t existed here before—and our community can’t wait any longer.
Join us. Volunteer. Spread the word. Help families breathe again.
β
Together, we’re building more compassionate and connected communities—one moment of respite at a time.
