The House of Friends is a ministry project supported by
members of Hope Presbyterian Church. This program is offered free of
charge to individuals with dementia who are being cared for at home
by family members. It is a weekly program designed to give the
family caregiver a four-hour respite. Participants interact socially
with others in a highly structured but caring mode. The goal is to
support the family so that institutionalization can be postponed.
The program
meets Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Activities include
social time, active group and quiet games, arts and crafts, singing,
worship, pet therapy, exercise, entertainment, small group sharing,
and lunch. Please contact Shurley Robinson to volunteer and
support this worthwhile ministry.
