Hospice Renfrew wants to do something nice for the unsung heroes caring for loved ones at home.
Their Events Coordinator, Deborah Coelho, invites any unpaid caregivers in Renfrew County to join them this Tuesday, March 18th, for a free Caregiver Wellness Gathering at their Albert Street office.
It’s a monthly meet-up that provides a different type of relaxation with each session, including this week’s intuitive painting and crystal bowl session with the team from The Dome Retreat.
The program comes from an understanding at the hospice of just how much caring for a loved one can take out of a person on top of their everyday lives and a desire to give those hard workers a new type of rest and relaxation at their office each and every time.
Coelho adds that, just like the hospice’s services for patients nearing the end of their journey, the wellness gatherings are open to anyone in the region who could use the extra help.
Pre-registration is required to take part, which you can do by contacting Coelho at 613-433-3993 ext. 2236 or via email.
