Caregiver resource center

Support, information, and services for those caring for loved ones with chronic illnesses.

Stonehill is proud to partner with the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque and the Theisen Family in making the Caregiver Resource Center a reality.

The Caregiver Resource Center is a place where non-professionals who care for loved ones with chronic illnesses can go for an array of resources — most of which will be at no cost — that support them in their caregiver journey, including:

• Educational, medical and legal library and resources
• Social work consultations
• Support groups
• Stonehill's Wellness Center and massage services
• Referrals to community services
• A safe place to process and share your caregiving challenges

The Caregiver Resource Center is housed in the lower level of the new Administrative/Outreach building on the Stonehill campus in Dubuque. Caregivers will have access to and benefit from the expertise of the Stonehill staff and our experience serving people with chronic illnesses and their families.

A DREAM MADE POSSIBLE WITH COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The Center was envisioned by Jim Theisen as a place where caregivers can go to feel supported and access resources they need. "No matter what caregivers need — even if it’s just a hug — this center will be there to provide it," said Jim. Jim has generously donated $1 million as a challenge grant to establish an endowment that will help sustain the Center for years to come. Gifts are still being accepted through the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque. Donations can also be made through Stonehill Communities to support the Center's operations.
