Give the gift of REST to weary caregivers. Many of our patients are cared for 24/7 by a single caregiver. CR Volunteers sit with patients for a few hours on an as-needed basis, so that caregivers can be given a break from the awesome responsibility of caring for a loved one and enjoy some time away from the home to renew/refresh their spirit, run some errands, etc.
