Caregiver Respite ensures caregivers know they are not alone and that help is available. Volunteers provide non-medical companionship, supervision, and a friendly face for older adults and those with disabilities so their primary caregiver can have some time away for work, family, and rest. 

Often people living with disabilities or memory loss and their caregivers have limited social contact outside their families. Volunteers are welcomed as friends, relationships develop, caregivers begin to cope better with daily stress, and thus the whole family is served. Volunteers are paired with a family and serve 4 – 16 hours a month, although there is no minimum or maximum about of time that can be donated.

Respite Care
Respite care volunteers offer quality companionship to someone with memory impairment or a chronic condition, so the primary caregiver can take a few hours off to attend to their needs. This has several benefits as it gives the primary family caregiver time:

Training
Respite Volunteer Training is offered to support respite volunteers. The training and education explore HIPAA and client confidentiality, boundaries, professionalism, and respect, case examples/caregiving-centric issues, and dementia education.   

Matching Process
Neighbors Helping Neighbors takes great care to match a volunteer and family. The Volunteer should feel comfortable handling the Care Receiver’s level of functioning. The Care Receiver should feel comfortable and respected by his/her new Volunteer companion.
