Caring for a loved one is among the most thankless jobs out there. It can be part-time or full-time. It can be caring for a grandfather with Alzheimer’s disease, a child with a spinal cord injury following a diving accident, a wife with Parkinson’s disease, a friend with AIDS, or a mother with cancer.

It means providing daily, hands-on, live-in care for a family member or being responsible for the emotional, financial and/or physical care and well being of another. It can require one to live with the person being cared for, or live separately.

Often, the person being cared for is the primary focus. But who cares for the caregiver?

“When Love is not Enough” is a series of talks for clergy and faith community leaders who assist in the clinical, practical and spiritual needs of not only the ill, but of their caregivers.

On April 30th, the Westchester Center for Rehabilitation & Nursing, 10 Claremont Avenue, in Mount Vernon, will host a conference from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The keynote speaker will be the Reverend Barbara Evans, R.N, N.P., M.P.H., M.Div., Minister for Health & Wholeness at Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon.

There is no charge for attendance, but seating is by reservation only. RSVPs by April 25th are requested. Clergy wishing to attend or needing additional information should contact Nancy Piotrowski at 914-699-1600×337 or NP.WestRehab@earthlink.net
