Five Rivers MetroParks and the Area Agency on Aging collaborate on hosting a free Caregiver Nature Walk for respite and support to family caregivers 11am-Noon on Tuesday, August 13, at Hills & Dales MetroPark, 2471 Deep Hollow Rd., Oakwood. Meet Five Rivers MetroPark and Area Agency on Aging staff members at the Paw Paw Shelter for a walk in the park followed by a short social time to meet with other caregivers and gather information on programs and services.
