Respite & Health Retreats
for parents and caregivers
South Carolina Capital Campaign
Restoring History, Health, Heart & Hope
Since our inception in 2017, A Mother's Rest has provided affordable, frequent, nationwide respite opportunities to more than 6000 parents & caregivers who have loved ones with disabilities and/or chronic illness.
​
Our network of "Porch Partners", existing B&B inns who offer our guests discounted rates several weekends per year, are a crucial part of our service offering. We currently have (43) partners in (20) states. We continue to seek new partners every month.
​
However, our unique, first-of-it's-kind platform of private, foundation-owned and managed, year-round respite inns serves the most caregivers annually. Having our own inns allows us the flexibility of being available as needed, and to schedule weekends for many different diagnosis-specific retreats. Long term, it is our organizational plan to own many historic B&B type respite inns regionally, all over the country.
In 2018, we opened the nation's first year-round caregiver respite inn in Central Maryland. In 2020, we opened a second inn in the mountains of North Georgia. Every weekend we are booked solid, with 10+ on the wait list and retreats booked nearly a year in advance. We are already scheduled through 2025. The need is SO great, and the HOPE and HEALING our respite inns bring to these parents & caregivers can only be measured in their attendance and overwhelmingly positive reviews and testimonials.
In 2025, our goal is to acquire and open a third respite inn in central South Carolina, which will serve more of our eastern Carolinas and Georgia families & veterans.
