Caregiver Respite Program

"Social Club at the Hub"

“Social Club at the Hub” is a once-a-week group respite program that offers enriching activities and socializing for care receivers, enabling caregivers to take a break.

Activities include various gentle exercise programs, musical experiences, thought-provoking discussion, arts and crafts, and a meal and snacks each day for the duration of that day. 

The program is held on Tuesdays from 10 AM to 3 PM, by which time the caregiver must pick up their care receiver from the program. There is no cost for this program.
