Chelsea Event Treats Caregivers

Massage and magic offered to highlight National Family Caregiver Month.

The Chelsea at Warren assisted living residence and the Visiting Nurses Association of Somerset Hills hosted "An Evening of Holiday Magic," Nov. 29, to celebrate National Family Caregiver Month.

Visitors were treated to hors d'oeuvres, martinis, chair massages, manicures and a performance by magician Mike Lamperello. The event welcomed anyone who takes care of an elderly or disabled loved one over the long haul.

Both the Chelsea and the VNA have Respite Programs designed to give caregivers breaks from the stresses of taking care of others. Interested parties may contact Melanie Varnerin at the Chelsea, 908-903-0911, or Debra Massa at the VNA, 908-766-0180, ext. 110.
