Patrick Roll Caregivers Retreat

Fri, Feb 28, 2025, 3:30 PM through Sun, Mar 2, 2025, 1:30 PM

Facilitators include: Cynthia Stanton, Bereavement Coordinator for NVNA

This retreat is free for all caregivers of loved ones.

We recognize that caregivers of loved ones have little time for themselves and have a unique need for their own community, self-care, rest, and respite so they can continue to offer love and care for those in need. This retreat is a gift to you. Caregivers of loved ones with cancer, dementia, terminal illness, or chronic conditions are invited to spend some intentional time being refilled and recharged by participating in a restorative and life-care, self-care retreat.
