Respite for Hospice Patient Caregivers

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Elara Caring

  • 1 person is interested

Do you have just a few extra hours a week to sit with a hospice patient and allow their caregivers a much needed break?

If you've ever cared for someone who is ill, you understand the demands it makes. Caregivers often let their own needs go to care for their loved ones.

This is a flexible program, you can give as much or as little as you like! Generally 2 hours a week makes a HUGE impact on a caregivers life! This allows them to

  • Go to their own doctor's visits
  • Pay bills
  • Run Errands
  • Get Groceries
  • Have coffee with a friend
This is something that will enrich the caregiver, patient's and your life!

For more information, call 517.740.9817.
