Since 1986, In-Home Respite Services has been providing compassionate, reliable companionship to Nassau County seniors. Our trained and screened companions allow local families to take care of personal needs without worrying about the safety of their loved ones. In honor of National Senior Citizens Day on August 21, join us in celebrating the selfless work of our In-Home Respite Services companions.
Our In-Home Respite Services program was very fortunate to have had six caring and competent individuals attend our most recent New Companion Orientation, which allows them to join our team of wonderful companions who give family caregivers of the elderly much needed time off!
During National Caregivers month, our In-Home Respite Services hosted a luncheon to recognize and honor our caregivers, including Town of North Hempstead District 1 Councilwoman Vivianna Russell (left) and Pauline Feldman (right). We are so grateful to our companions who give full-time caregivers much-needed time off!
Mary Ann Samson, Home Assessor and Trainer, and Mary Lou Ogren, Companion, recently represented EAC Network’s In-Home Respite Services at the Hillside Senior Appreciation Day. In-Home Respite Services provides in-home caregivers (companions) to Nassau County residents caring for an elderly relative in their home so the caregiver can take much-needed time off.
2019 marks the 33rd year that In-Home Respite Services is supporting family caregivers in Nassau County! The program’s longevity and success are all due to the commitment, dedication, and care of our volunteer respite companions.
Join speakers Mary Ann Sampson, Registered Nurse, and Christine Weber, Program Coordinator of EAC Network’s In-Home Respite Services, as they discuss your body’s most important organ- your brain. Learn how to keep your brain healthy through nutrition, exercise, and simple, everyday activities as well as the diseases that affect the brain and strategies to help boost your memory as you grow older.
