Medfield's Council on Aging received a grant for $32,676 to begin an adult respite program at the Center.
Roberta Lynch, director of Medfield's Council on Aging, has always believed communities need to offer respite care programs for both caregivers and care recipients. "It’s a win-win for the caregiver, the care recipient and for the town," Lynch said. "For the care recipient coming into the program, it’s beneficial for them because it adds structure, stimulation, socialization, exercise, all of those elements that if they’re just home, sitting by themselves, they are not getting any of that. We will be able to offer that to them." The Council on Aging will be able to provide those services through an adult respite program that Lynch hopes to have up and running at the center by Feb. 1 after she received a grant for $32,676 from the MetroWest…
