The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs\u2019 Commonwealth Respite Service Program will be having their open house today, Jan. 8, from 10am to 3pm at CRSP office, building #1354 on Mednilla Avenue, Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n
The open house will be introducing the CRSP that will focus on catering to primary caregivers and the community. The resource center is meant to be a comfortable space for caregivers who register with the program. <\/p>\n
The center will be providing registered CRSP caregivers access to the internet, books with various genres, relaxing activities, and classes. The center will also provide caregivers a short-term relief from caregiving for self-care or to take a much needed rest with peace of mind, while a professional takes their place to cater to their loved one.<\/p>\n
Respite service programs have been proven to reduce abuse, especially elder abuse, and improve the overall care of children with disabilities and senior citizens who are being cared for full-time at home. Respite care services also improve the caretaker\u2019s health. (Justine Nauta)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
