Welcome to the Family
Respite for All Inspired Communities
Respite for All is a national movement of faith-based, volunteer-driven programs working together to build communities of well-being and connection for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia illnesses. Below we have listed Respite Communities across the United States that are part of our growing network. For those of you who are looking for more information about local program specifics, please reach out using the contacts below.
If your church or organization is ready to launch a Respite for All Ministry, please get in touch with our Resource Director, Rev. June Jernigan, by emailing [email protected]. She will help you with the next steps to get started.
