Many of our families and caregivers are providing around-the-clock care of their loved ones here in SouthWestern PA. At the same time they are often required to maintain a household, face new changes in lifestyle and come to grips with that is going on. These caregivers need and deserve a break! Respite volunteers can be assigned to sit with a patient to allow the caregiver time to rest and to take care of their own needs inside or outside of the home. We do not require our volunteers to travel outside of their own community.
