{quote} Participants are fetched from
their homes by vans and spend 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. painting, potting
plants, dancing and talking — or, for those immobilized by their
disease, relaxing amid music, massage and twinkling lights. The
patients rest as they need, for a few minutes or a few hours, and
return home the next morning fed, showered and, usually, tuckered
out. {end quote}
It takes just one person to encourage
setting up Night-Care respite for those with dementia.
If YOU are using or involved with a
assisted living facility, senior services, day-care, caregivers,
senior center, or area agency discuss Night Care programs with your
peers.
