Description: We work tirelessly to bring memory fitness and smiles to the faces of people coping with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia in the Lowcountry. Our day program participants look forward to singing, painting and enjoying the simple pleasures of being with other people, while our support groups are a place for family and caregivers to share and learn in a safe and confidential setting.
Respite Care Charleston is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support to caregivers and those living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Our priority is to bring MORE. GOOD. DAYS.™ to families dealing with one of life's greatest challenges.
With several locations around the Lowcountry, RCC's half-day memory care program (respite) provides caregivers a break while bringing smiles to the faces of those they love. While we provide activities like singing, painting, memory fitness and light exercise - all designed specifically for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia - the greatest benefit of our day program participants is simple pleasures of being with others.
For families and caregivers, RCC's support groups are a safe place to learn tips and tricks on dealing with the unique challenges that arise along the journey with Alzheimer's and dementia and to share laughter, tears and friendship in a confidential setting.
