Help for Senior Caregivers from Project Time-Out

Anonymous writes "Project Time-Out is taking its respite service for seniors who are caregivers one step further by offering a new escort program. Seniors over age 60 can enlist a carefully screened and specially trained escort to accompany their loved one to a doctor visit, shopping trip, errand run, movie or restaurant.
For nearly 20 years Project Time-Out, a program of Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS), has been providing in-home respite services to Westchester families who are caring for either a dependent older person or a child who is mentally retarded or developmentally disabled. The service allows caregivers short-term relief from their responsibilities.
The escort service is free. Users are only responsible for transportation costs for their relative and the escort if they travel by taxi or bus. If Para Transit is used, the escort rides free.
For more information, contact Project Time-Out at 914-949-7699, ext. 308.
