Ms. Laka and Ms. Bridget spent some time visiting staff and patients at Cape Fear Valley Hospital this afternoon. Spreading education and a little inspiration to those in the hospital. Case Management is a critical component to our LIFE program. Ms. Bridget coordinates and provides support to those Participants in the hospital. It is through her attention to detail that our Seniors can continue to live safely at home and age in place.

If you know a Senior in need of supportive care please reach out to our team. 910-429-8223.

Thank you Bridget and Laka for all that you do!

This is a wonderful support group for our community caregivers.

Fall is just around the corner, and with fall comes another opportunity for our family caregivers in the community to participate in the no-cost, evidence-based Powerful Tools for Caregivers series. This program, which meets once a week for six consecutive weeks, helps caregivers find ways to better care for themselves while caring for a loved one. Various resources, including the e-book The Caregiver Helpbook, are provided, and opportunities for either virtual or in-person sessions are available.
Registration is required, and space is limited. Call today to sign up!!
