Meet Brook, Eliza, and Bucky, just a few of the huge hearts behind the Hope Arbor Respite Care Program in Savannah, GA. What do they do? Why do they do it? How does it impact the lives of all participants and volunteers? This program is life-changing and so very impactful….and it is replicable! If you or someone you know is going through memory care or if you’re looking to “age gracefully,” this is the episode for you! If you are someone with an idea that hasn’t yet had the courage “just to try,” this is the episode for you. It is an honor to Illuminate the story of Hope Arbor, hope you enjoy!
