Everyone needs time for self-care.
Anchor Center puts families and caregivers first with our Anchor Care Respite Program.
Night Watch is Anchor Center’s respite program which provides families and caregivers a break from their caregiving duties while their children are having fun at Anchor Center! Night Watch is currently offered on select Fridays from October through May from 5pm-8pm. Current Anchor students, alumni and siblings up to age 10 are welcome to join. The cost for the evening is $30 for the current or former Anchor student and $5 for each additional child.
Night Watch is staffed in partnership with local nursing schools, other university programs (PT, community and mental health) as well as individual volunteers and Anchor Center staff.
