Someone depends on you - night and day....

Maybe a medically fragile child. A relative with a physical or emotional disability. Or a parent with Alzheimer's Disease.

The best thing you can do for that person is to stay healthy yourself!

The demands of caregiving can stress you, exhaust you, and harm your physical and emotional health.

An occasional respite, or short break, can offer you renewed patience and strength.

TIME JUST FOR YOU....
