March was the reopening of the Rangeley Health and Wellness senior program, HARC (Help Adult Respite Care). This program provides family caregivers with a day of relief from the demands of their caregiving roles while at the same time providing services for homebound seniors with functional limitations and/or memory loss.
This model of care is based on the Brookdale National Group Respite program which combines two key characteristics 1) regularly scheduled hours of respite for caregivers; and 2) a carefully designed program in which cognitively impaired older people can socialize and participate in a program of structured activities that are enjoyable and supportive.
