What is a Day of Renewal?
Caregiver Day of Renewal is a day designed especially for our Washington County family caregivers to receive the spoils they deserve.

Events of the Day

Caregivers can take part in a number of different activities

• chair massages
• reflexology
• meditation
• mini facials
• mini manicures
• pet therapy
• paint rocks
• wood burning

Caregivers can enjoy the beautiful scenery at Cedar Valley by walking their trails (weather permitting) or by sitting in a comfortable chair and watching wildlife
from the indoors.

A delicious lunch will be available to caregivers between 12:00 pm-1:00 pm.

Our closing presentation will be Where the Care Begins: With You, A Nourishing Hour for Caregivers with Layne Burkette, LPC, RYT.

No experience needed. Nothing to prepare. Just come as you are!
