Covenant's new ministry is a respite program offering a weekly meeting to those with early to mid stage dementia and their caregivers.

Trained volunteers will provide support and encouragement to participants in a community-based setting. Meetings combine socialization, physical movement, art, music, and other cognitive-stimulating activities. Lunch will be served in a safe and comfortable environment. While those with dementia and their caregivers navigate this challenging journey, our respite program is here to offer safe refuge, allowing caregivers a four-hour window to attend to their personal needs with the assurance that their loved one is being well cared for.

We will meet Wednesday from 10 am to 2 pm. Email c.heiberg@covenantcares.org for more information. If you have a family member or friend who you think would benefit from this ministry, we would love to connect with you! We are also always looking for dedicated, enthusiastic, and positive volunteers who are ready to jump in and engage with our participants.
