Open House at the Goldstone Caregiver Center at Danbury Hospital on March 30

The Goldstone Caregiver Center at Danbury Hospital is opening its doors to the community for an Open House on Wednesday, March 30, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Located in the main lobby of Danbury Hospital’s Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Pavilion, the Goldstone Caregiver Center was officially opened on September 17, 2015. Parking is available in the Rizzo Garage on Hospital Avenue.

The new facility was made possible through a $1 million gift from Liz and Steven Goldstone of Ridgefield, CT.  A nutritionist and former critical care nurse, Liz and her husband are longtime Danbury Hospital donors dedicated to initiatives that promote patient-centered care.

The Goldstone Caregiver Center is designed to meet the needs of individuals who are the primary caregivers of family members or friends, promotes the well-being of caregivers through compassionate support and a healing environment.

The Center offers visitors a quiet space for respite and privacy as well as a place where caregivers can take a break from the bedside to reflect and rest yet still be close to their loves ones. They also can meet with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Spiritual Care Provider, or other members of the health care team to find welcome guidance and relief.

Amenities of the Center include a kitchenette stocked with healthy snacks and beverages and a computer workstation for easy access to emails and online resources.
