COVID-19 update
There may be times when our respite activities and events may need to be held virtually for a short period of time to keep you and your loved ones safe.

When this happens, we’ll support you or your loved one to access an electronic device (at no cost) to remain connected with our virtual program and community.

This includes virtual cooking classes, exercise classes and more.
