Rita Riande

Respite worker

“Having worked with elderly people in residences since 2008, I got to know them and follow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, while working as a caregiver and reassuring families, as well as bringing a little ray of sunshine into their lives, as one lady said to me. Now, I’d like to bring respite to caregivers so they can enjoy and take a little bit of time off for themselves.”
