Respite And Dynamic Duos Information Page
What are Dynamic Duos and Respite?
Respite
Respite is when a person living with dementia spends time at Amy's Place, while their caregiver runs errands, goes to doctor appointments, attends support groups, gets lunch with friends, etc. Respite is only an option once the intake process is completed (see link) and must be scheduled ahead of time.
Dynamic Duos
Dynamic Duos is anytime a person living with dementia or memory loss and their care partner are spending time in Amy's Place together. This can be the first step towards respite or an opportunity to expand your community and support system.
