Abstract
A one-day retreat focusing on spiritual renewal for caregivers was offered in conjunction with a concurrent dementia day care program. Postretreat questionnaire responses indicated positive attitudes overall toward the spiritual retreat, but many caregivers expressed a desire for greater informational content and more time for interaction with other caregivers. All were satisfied with the level of care patients received in the day program. Although there was no significant change in mean level of depression in caregivers following the retreat, the concurrent respite-retreat experience appeared to motivate several caregivers to try a group support service for thefirst time.
