Give a senior caregiver a break!
ORGANIZATION: Citizens Who Care, Inc.
Please visit the new page to apply.
Caregiving for a spouse is often an exhausting experience and many caregivers never get a break to refresh and regroup. Often they have to let go of activities they have enjoyed in the past. A volunteer is needed to sit with an elderly man while his wife gets to participate in a group that meets once a month on Sunday in the evening.
