Connecting to life
Mary and Bob have been married for 53 years. Unfortunately, Bob suffers from dementia and Mary has been Bob's caregiver for the past several years. Although Mary's love for Bob is unwavering, she finds the demands of caregiving tiring and challenging. She could really use a break. A Resources For Living consultant connects Mary with adult daycare services available in her area. Bob now enjoys a stimulating day each week and Mary finds guilt-free time for herself to reconnect with friends and her interests.

Knowing that Fran won’t be as mobile after her surgery, the consultant connects Fran with Meals On Wheels and a community transport program in her area. Now Fran can simply focus on healing.
