Time away from your loved one for a few hours, can be what it takes to regain perspective, sanity, and emotional well-being. Since 2007, Area XIV has operated a drop-in respite program for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The Creston center operates from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. It is located at the First Baptist Church, Prairie and Lincoln in Creston. The Greenfield center, opened in August of 2008 operates form 10.a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays in the First Methodist Church in Greenfield. Both centers provide stimulating activities for participants as well as a nourishing lunch. The Southern Iowa Trolley provides transportation to and from the centers at no charge to the client and, if needed, an aide.
