AMR Event Calendar

How It Works

A Mother's Rest is the nation's first and only non-profit network of year-round caregiver respite INNS. AMR coordinates affordable, 3-night free-style respite retreats through our own two foundation-owned inns, B&B, VRBO, and resort Porch Partners nationwide. Our mission is to minimize or eliminate the financial barrier to self-care, providing caregivers with frequent, low-cost opportunities, with adequate time to decompress in an intimate, therapeutic environment.

This extended in-person fellowship with other parents who "get it" simply can not be duplicated in on-line Facebook groups. As a non profit, we plan these retreats all over the country, year-round. With the help of generous inn discounts, corporate sponsorship, small business support, church and civic group donations, and individual giving, we make these trips affordable to ALL parents.

A Mother's Rest serves all parents & caregivers across the entire spectrum of "extra needs". "Extra needs" includes all children, not just those with birth defects or developmental delays. We support special needs parents, all adoptive/foster moms, wives of wounded veterans, special educators, and those caring for their own elderly, infirm parents at home.
