Lyngblomsten is seeking volunteers to provide respite to caregivers in the West St. Paul, Woodbury, Roseville and White Bear Lake areas.

Respite is short-term relief that allows caregivers to attend to matters other than caring for their loved ones. As a Respite Companion, you’ll spend as little as two to three hours visiting with an older adult with memory loss in his or her home, or six hours doing brain stimulating activities with an older adult with memory loss in a group situation.

This opportunity is great for those who:

* Enjoy one-on-one interactions,
* Find meaning in building and sustaining relationships,
* Are reliable and conscientious, and
* Focus on capabilities rather than deficiencies.

All volunteers will be trained by Lyngblomsten before spending time with an older adult with memory loss. Volunteering as a respite volunteer is brain stimulating activity for you, as a volunteer, but also for the participant. ALSO, respite volunteers provide a welcome break for the caregiver! Everyone benefits.
