What is Dynamic Duos and Respite
Dynamic Duos
Dynamic Duos is anytime a person living with cognitive decline 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.
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.
