Good Morning…

It’s that time of year… most colleges and universities have wrapped up their spring semesters. And many public schools are getting out this week. Weather is warming up and fun summer days are ahead.

For many of us, a summer vacation or getaway may be on the horizon. But if you’re a family caregiver, a carefree vacation may be hard to come by.

You might be concerned about who will take your place if you leave town. OR if you bring your loved one with you, will your destination be equipped for their special needs?

Many of our clients tell us about the challenges associated with planning a vacation, so we’ve put together some suggestions you can use to help make your vacation more relaxing. Take a look at our blog post, “Family Caregivers – Yes You Can Take a Vacation!”

We hope you find this information useful. And we hope your summer is off to a great start.

From all of us to all of you – have a great day.
