Caregivers

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 

Romans 12:12-13 (NIV)

Mission:
to empower/advocate for caregivers while they provide unconditional emotional, spiritual, intellectual support and secure services to their loved ones—spouse, child, sibling, relative or friends— and assist them to maintain a healthy lifestyle with their family and community.

Service:
By caregiving or helping to care a person, we are providing unpaid care to a relative or friend who is unable to take care of themselves. We are talking about a range of help – from such everyday things as helping this person get to the doctor or the store, or helping to pay his or her bills, to personal things like helping them eat, get dressed, or take a bath. In some cases the older relative or friend might live far away, or she or he might live in your home. All of these are part of our broad view of day-to-day or month-to-month caregiving.

Audience:
Ours is a special group organized where caregivers can meet with other caregivers to share idea, stories, tips, practical solutions and support. We endeavor to meet the needs of current caregivers. Caregivers are individuals who provide the day to day care for their love ones. We are looking for all current Caregivers and those who find out how they can assist Caregivers. Our regular meeting is the second Thursday of each month from 7:30-8:30pm.
