Being a caregiver can become a very stressful undertaking, especially when the person receiving care has dementia or a debilitating illness. Sometimes caregivers just needs a little rest ... and You can be the REST of their story by becoming a Faith in Action volunteer.
We are seeking caring respite volunteers who can visit with older adults a few hours each week in the home. While the volunteer visits with the care receiver, the person responsible for caregiving will have the opportunity to spend a few hours away from home to relax or do other things such as running errands. This is a wonderful opportunity to develop a relationship with a family as well as with the older adult. At the same time, you will be gaining valuable experience and meeting a very important need. Activities may include reading together, looking at photo albums, playing cards and games or going for a walk or to places of interest. No physical or medical care is required. Respite training provided. Contact Ashley at 320-247-9790 or ashley.folwarski@benedictineliving.org
