“How to Help Caregivers Get What They Want” was the emphasis for a day-long session presented by six staff members of Life Enrichment Center Adult Day Care at a national conference in August.
Speaking to more than 200 members of the National Adult Day Services Association in a pre-conference intensive, Life Enrichment Executive Director Suzi Kennedy led the team in role plays and discussion for their peers, who came from across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Designated a national teaching model by Partners in Caregiving, Life Enrichment Center has welcomed professional caregivers from 23 states, who come to Cleveland County to learn how to create a safe, caring, day health environment for adults of all ages.
Also participating in the presentation were Life Enrichment nurses Toni Camp, who is the center coordinator for the Kings Mountain center, and Karen Bridges, who is center coordinator for the Shelby center; community outreach coordinators Debbie Vaughan and Linda Cabiness; and intern Russ Putnam.
The staff attended other sessions during the 3-day conference to learn ways they can enhance participant experiences and support caregivers at Life Enrichment.
