New Bern Community Respite Care

Empowering adults living with dementia and the people who love them Our main program, Come Again, is based on the Respite for All (RFA) model.

New Bern Community Respite Care was founded in 2024 by and for the community to provide education, friendship and tools for families living with dementia. We are the second RFA-inspired program in North Carolina and the 55th in the U.S. Come Again is a social respite program where people in early to middle stages of dementia spend time with trusted, trained volunteers in a safe, judgment-free space. We aim to bring joy, friendship, and purpose to everyone while giving care partners a chance to rest. Come Again runs on Thursdays from 10 am - 2 pm at Trinity UMC. Contact Director Lindsay Roberts ([email protected]) for more information on how to get involved.

Today at Come Again, we got creative! Let us know if you spot one of these custom mini bud vases at your favorite restaurant in New Bern. 😊 We also enjoyed singing and dancing to music provided by one of our favorite guitar players and participated in movement activities. We shared a delicious lunch featuring quiche, hash brown casserole, mixed melons, and homemade cookies.

We look forward to seeing everyone next week on Thursday, August 27!
