Our Place Day Respite Center

Respite refers to a short time of rest or relief. It provides a break from the typical care routine allowing the caregiver some down time while the person with Alzheimer's or dementia-related disorders continues to receive care from qualified individuals and has the opportunity for different experiences and social interaction.

We offer respite care at Our Place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

We have a light breakfast, a full lunch, and an afternoon snack. We also have activities that engage our entire group of Friends as well as daily entertainment.

"Our Place gave me guidance with so much kindness and understanding. The entire staff guided Jim and me through the new life we had. They turned my tears into strength I didn't know I had. They threw me a lifeline and educated me on what to expect during the stages of Alzheimer's. I was no longer lost."

Harriett Hopkins, Caregiver

Benefits:

For Our Friends

Our Friends will benefit from the socialization and cognitive stimulation of being in a safe, supportive, engaging environment in which they can interact with others having similar experiences while participating in enjoyable activities designed to match personal abilities and needs.

Activities will brighten our Friends day by revitalizing the joys, accomplishments, strengths and comfortable habits of the past and present. It is our intent to provide mentally stimulating activities and nutritious hot lunches in a homelike environment.

For Family Caregivers

It is our mission to provide family caregivers peace of mind knowing your loved one is spending the day in a safe, secure environment engaged in worthwhile activities.

By offering this service it affords you the freedom to focus on stress relief through rest and relaxation and the time for important personal endeavors that are often neglected.

This program was partially funded by the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA)

A very special thank you to Senior Citizens Services of Texarkana, Inc. for serving our nutritious lunches which are provided by the Area Agency on Aging Ark-Tex Region.
