Community Respite Program at Camp Christopher

Caring for a loved one can be both rewarding and exhausting. The Community Respite Program through Catholic Charities provides temporary care for individuals with disabilities and older adults, giving caregivers a much-needed break while their loved one enjoys a safe, supportive environment.

During Respite, participants engage in meaningful activities such as games, crafts, outdoor time, and social connection, all supported by trained, compassionate staff. The program offers one respite weekend opportunity each month throughout the year, as well as a week-long summer option for those who would like to try an extended experience.

Respite benefits both caregivers and participants through rest, social interaction, and peace of mind.

Providing Help. Creating Hope.

Your kidneys play an important role in keeping your body healthy. They help flush toxins and maintain the right balance of sodium (salt), potassium, and fluids. When the kidneys are not working properly, excess salt or fluid can place added stress on them.

The most common causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure, and individuals with a family history of kidney problems may also be at higher risk.

Watch for possible symptoms:
- Changes in urination (less urine, frequent nighttime urination, or stopping completely)
- Swelling in the ankles, feet, or legs
- Decreased appetite
- Fatigue
- High blood pressure
- Nausea or vomiting lasting several days
- Decreased sensation, especially in the hands or feet

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor to rule out kidney disease.

For those living with kidney disease, doctors may recommend dietary adjustments such as limiting potassium, fluids, protein, phosphorus, and salt depending on individual needs and stage of disease. Always consult your doctor before making changes to your diet or medications.
