Respite Services Offered to Caregivers at New Mexico Conference on Aging
The 47th Annual New Mexico Conference on Aging is the perfect opportunity for caregivers (both professional and kinship) to gain new skills, find support among peers, and connect with valuable resources.
Respite care will be offered so caregivers can attend the conference all three days. If you are a caregiver and are interested in utilizing this service, please indicate so on your registration form. A respite program provides temporary relief for caregivers by offering short-term care.
