Taking a break from caregiving can be tough, so to make it easier for you to get away and attend the luncheon, two complimentary services are available. Please request them when you register (registration form is on the back of this page): • Limited transportation is available to and from the luncheon.

To use this service, you must request it when you register.

• Companionship for your loved one during the luncheon: If the person you’re caring for needs companionship during the lunch, free care will be provided at Agrace, featuring crafts, games, movies and conversation. Lunch will not be provided.

For general support: The Dane County Caregiver Program provides support and resources for unpaid caregivers to address their physical, financial, and emotional stress. For more information contact your local senior center or Jane De Broux at (608) 261-5679 or debroux.jane@countyofdane.com
