PAUSE 
Respite Club

for those living with dementia

PAUSE Respite Club is a weekly outing for people who are living with memory loss. Club members who are in the early stages of dementia can engage in stimulating activities, be with friends, and enjoy entertainment in a safe, reassuring environment.

PAUSE is a time for family members and/or caregivers to take a short break and attend to their own physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, while knowing their loved one with dementia is having a great time in a safe place.

Membership to PAUSE is free and open to the community as well as anyone who attends Fourth Avenue Church.

Our misson
Dear Caregiver,
We know that taking care of someone with a dementia diagnosis can often be challenging, exhausting, and lonely.
We see you.
At Fourth Avenue Church, because of the love Jesus has shown us, we feel compelled to help. At PAUSE Respite Club, we offer you a small pause or break. Use the time however you wish while we will take care of your person.
