Setting Healthy Boundaries As A Caregiver

When you’ve gained the title of “Caregiver” for a friend or family member it can be challenging to find the balance between providing them what they need and showing the same attention to yourself in the process. Setting boundaries, though challenging at times, is essential in maintaining not only your mental health but also the high level of care that your loved one deserves.

Lynch Family

Apart from Livvy having a bald head, nobody knew that our family was any different from anyone else. We were normal.

Mizak Family

I have been battling this disease for eleven years. The past two years have been the hardest. It’s easier to feel overwhelmed with five kids, laundry, chemo, scans... So thank you, A Week Away team! I do feel well rested and relaxed after our respite. Ready to keep fighting this fight!

Robinson Family

The respite was very well needed. I was able to be relaxed, care free and spend time with my family. My most memorable time was being on the beach with my family and seeing the smile on Riley's face as she enjoyed spending time with her loved ones. We really appreciate the wonderful experience that you have given us. The trip for the week was exactly what we needed to regroup as a family and enjoy one another on good terms.

Schaefer Family

We had an amazing time as a family. Made good family memories and relaxed. We came home feeling relaxed and ready for life — real life. Thank you for everything. We were able to build memories as a family. That's what our boys will remember — not the hospital visits or the pin-pricks.

The story behind A Week Away

Caleb Walker

December 8th, 1990 — December 3rd, 2014

A Week Away was an idea that originated from a weekend trip to Ocean City, New Jersey. My best friend and I were gifted this opportunity by someone who felt I could use some time away. It had been almost four years since doctors had diagnosed me with Stage III Anaplastic Ependymoma, a rare and aggressive form of Cancer that attacks the brain and spine.
