WHAT IS LIGHTHOUSE?
LIGHTHOUSE is a new ministry of Prince of Peace Catholic Church where friends living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and similar conditions can experience companionship and social activities while their caregivers have a short respite from the duties and responsibilities that come with full-time care of a loved one.
Our volunteers are trained with the social and relational aspects of caring for our friends living with dementia, offering mental stimulation and socialization while developing relationships that fill individuals with a sense of well-being.
OUR MISSION
Through Lighthouse, our Prince of Peace community is helping to fill a growing need within our aging population to support and embrace friends facing dementia and the caregivers who love them.
