Caregiver Education
Not many people are prepared for the role of caring for a loved one who has a chronic illness. The Adult Center for Enrichment’s Caregiver Education focuses on the caregiver and provides them with the information they need to best help themselves and their loved ones live up to their potential. Training options are both on-going and short-term.
- Educational Sessions: classes, workshops, and presentations focus on two areas of education for caregivers, direct care and self-care.
- Caregiver Support Groups: The Adult Center for Enrichment offers two ongoing support groups: 1) 2nd Tuesday of each month from 12:30 to 2:00 pm at First Baptist Church, 1000 W. Friendly Ave., Greensboro, NC 27401 and 2) 1st Wednesday of each month from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm at Pennybyrn at Maryfield, 109 Penny Road, High Point, NC 27260. Meetings provide information, resources and relationship building with peers.
- Caregiver Retreat: The annual retreat offers a day of rest and renewal for caregivers who often have no other day throughout the year dedicated to their personal needs. Respite is offered on site.
- Caregivers Among Us: ACE will bring caregiver educational programs to your congregation, organization or community.
- Aging Well News: A quarterly newsletter geared to provide information and education about caregiving issues.
