Focus of Georgia - Saturday Respite
Friday, March 8, 2025 from 10:00am to 2:00pm
You deserve a break today! Enjoy a few hours to run errands, lunch with a friend, or take a nap! A nurse is at each location to manage G-tube feedings, seizures, and other medical care. Caregivers at each location are knowledgeable and experienced in caring for children with special needs. The ratio of caregiver to child is 1:4, but community volunteers are often on hand to help and play. It’s a wonderful time for the children to enjoy free play, music, and extra attention from FOCUS caregivers and volunteers. Oh, and the parents enjoy the break!
