The Thomas E. and Alice Marie Hales Caregivers Center has opened at Phelps Hospital, located in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The new dedicated space allows family caregivers to rest, reflect and refuel. The space includes a resource library, a respite area with a massage chair, a private section for confidential consultations, a kitchenette with refreshments, and a desk area that includes computers, telephones and internet access.
The center is a physical extension of the Phelps Hospital Caregivers Program launched virtually in 2020. The program provides caregivers with emotional support, counseling, access to social workers, and other resources necessary to navigate the healthcare system. In addition, it offers educational and training programs, as well as amenities, such as hospitality and care baskets.
