The Blue Ridge Respite is Going Strong!
Introducing the Blue Ridge Respite Enrichment Program:
A Social Model of Memory Care
Our mission at Blue Ridge Respite, formerly known as Nelson Enrichment Club, is to provide a caring and safe environment for individuals experiencing memory loss. Through engaging and enriching activities, we empower members to achieve their fullest potential, while providing a restorative break for their dedicated caregivers.
The Program meets twice per week, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10AM to 2PM, at the Rockfish Presbyterian Church (5016 Rockfish Valley Hwy, in Nellysford, VA).
It offers social and self-enrichment activities for individuals with memory loss, while also giving caregivers a restorative break. Activities include:
Music & the arts
Brain games
Physical fitness
Pet therapy
Socialization activities
