The Elizabeth Dole Foundation (EDF) knows your days are packed with responsibilities. Would having an extra pair of hands help free you up to invest a little more time in yourself? Could you make it to that doctor’s appointment you’ve been meaning to get to, or sit in a park and read a book, catch up with a friend, or just take a break?
EDF knows the lack of affordable, convenient, professional respite care has always taken a significant toll on the emotional and physical well-being of caregivers across the country. Now, due to the increased health risks and limitations created by the pandemic, we are seeing a spike in the need for short-term relief.
That’s why EDF joined forces with CareLinx, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Wounded Warrior Project, and AARP to launch Respite Relief for Military & Veteran Caregivers. Through this program, EDF is providing more than 75,000 hours of no-cost respite care services to caregivers nationwide.
Military and veteran caregivers can find all the details and apply at www.hiddenheroes.org/respite.
