Café for Care Partners

About the Event

---

Join us November 10th at 1:30 PM (ET) for an in-person Café for Care Partners at Morris Arboretum. After you register, we will send you information and instructions.

Join us at Morris Arboretum for a calming, sensory experience enjoying the garden grounds. Enjoy a guided tour of the arboretum featuring history, horticultural knowledge, and more! This tour will also give participants a chance to explore the grounds on their own. Though the time is listed as 1:30-2:30 pm, participants will be able to explore the grounds for as long as they would like after the tour.

Once a private estate, Morris Arboretum is now a public garden that provides a place of respite, beauty, and learning. The 175 acre grounds contain a diversity of different gardens to explore and over 11,000 labelled plants.

We launched this series of programs especially for the care partners of people living with dementia (usually family members but sometimes close friends playing the same role) to provide engaging, stimulating experiences and relief from the daily grind. In order to give care partners time for respite and a chance to connect with each other, this program is for care partners only.

Transportation
