Senior Services mission to promote wellness, support independence, strengthen the community, and cultivate vitality is receiving a boost with a grant award from Exhale – The Family Caregiver Initiative. This grant not only effects seniors in the community, but their primary caregivers of all ages. It is essential for caregivers to care for themselves, as well as find a supportive community. BTSS is excited to host
complimentary Caregiver Connect Groups with upcoming meetings on Thursday, January 16 and Thursday, February 13.
Caregiver Connect will offer wellness programs, evidence-based caregiver education, and leisurely learning; as well as include a meal and facilitated support discussions. While they attend, their person in care will attend adult day services courtesy of newly re-opened Friendship Club. Exhale funding does not end here, but also provides for caregivers and receivers to participate together in the Companion Café.
Companion Café offers creative, social, and enjoyable activities in a safe, positive, and supportive setting. Bloomfield Hills Rotary Club provided startup funding in 2023 and feedback was resoundingly positive. The Exhale grant now ensures that this monthly program will remain active and complimentary for the year ahead.
