We know it is an honor to care for loved ones. We also know that caregivers need breaks! The Ease the Day Program is an initiative that gives family caregivers and their older adult loved ones (55 and better) a much-needed break without worry or guilt. Contact the Chelsea Senior Center if you are a caregiver seeking respite. We are here to help!

The Ease the Day: Caregiver Respite Support Program* has opportunities to meet the complex needs of caregivers:

• Onsite Ease the Day is an adult day program at the Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays
• In-home companion care
• In-home skilled support care 
• Resource navigation and advocacy to help connect to other community resources.

*Intake assessments must be done to determine eligibility. Some service limitations apply. These services are provided at no cost, but donations of money, time, or talent are welcomed.

Registration is now open. Call 734.475.9242 and ask for Lisa or Katie or email caregiversupport@chelseaseniors.org
