Community Respite Care
Calvin Cove provides community respite care three days a week for homebound older adults in a safe, welcoming environment. We are celebrating over 25 years of service as a community not-for-profit ministry of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Snellville, Georgia. The Director works along with an experienced staff of loving volunteers who have a heart for seniors.
Our goal is to allow caregivers time to rest and recharge with a little time to themselves.
Caregivers and care receivers both benefit from a little time apart! We ensure that our program is safe, entertaining and comfortable for our participants so that caregivers can have peace of mind while their loved one is with us.
-- Our Mission --
To provide a few hours of respite care for caregivers while loved ones socialize with friends, enjoy a safe environment, and participate in enjoyable activities to maintain and stimulate mental function.
