Relax

Relaxation is essential for caregivers to recharge, refresh the mind, and improve overall caregiving effectiveness.

Powerful Tools for Caregivers

Hear the ways our caregivers have cared for themselves and loved ones after they visited with Hope Grows.

“I really do not have words that can thank you and Hope Grows for the support you give. Unless someone has done this job, “Just wanted to take a moment and say a big THANK YOU! From the special welcome packet I received in the mail, to the support group today, it has been absolutely AMAZING. This morning I was a little nervous, not knowing what to expect. When I arrived, the grounds just made me feel lighter and happy. Upon entering the house, I immediately felt welcomed within the group. I never dreamed I could feel so comfortable sharing my personal story. You have truly created something remarkable.”

“How is it that you always know exactly what I need? What a place! What a staff! What a service to those of us oft-ignored. The best people. The most beautiful surroundings, inside and out. The smallest detail not missed. The tastiest food. The best bed and breakfast I ever stayed in!”

“I really do not have words that can thank you and Hope Grows for the support you give. Unless someone has done this job, “Such a blessing! I absolutely loved my stay here. It was the most relaxing day I can remember in my life. I felt so cared for and valued, and I got a recharge I needed! Looking forward to coming again. May this be the first of many!”

“Thank you for this lovely immersion in beauty. It was an oasis of peace and calm for me. Beauty at literally every turn, everywhere inside the house and out. Thank you for creating this.”
