The Rossmoor Respite Fund
In addition to bringing the Rossmoor community together, these events raise money for the Rossmoor Respite Fund for those under Hospice East Bay Care. Respite for caregiving family members provides a much-needed, temporary break from the often exhausting challenges they often face. Respite has been shown to help sustain family caregiver health and well-being and avoid or delay out-of-home placements. This fund is crucial in assisting caregivers who cannot afford additional care but need a little relief from their responsibilities.
Music Therapy Program
We are very excited to introduce our music therapy program to our Rossmoor residents. Music is such a powerful therapeutic tool as it involves many different areas of the brain. Patients are described as being more engaged and responsive; make eye contact and relax their faces during therapy.
All the funds raised at the Sneakers & Paws event will be used to pay for this program to be made available to all Rossmoor residents at no additional cost.
