It’s a community-based, volunteer and student run program in Partnership with the University of Michigan School of Nursing and Packard Health focused on the health and wellness of older adults in the West Willow Neighborhood.

Families are the primary source of support for older adults and people with disabilities in the U.S.  Many caregivers work and also provide care, experiencing conflicts between these competing responsibilities.

Research indicates that caregiving also exacts a significant emotional, physical, and financial toll. With nearly half of all caregivers older than age 50, many are vulnerable to a decline in their own health.

Studies have shown that coordinated support services can reduce caregiver depression, anxiety, and stress, and enable them to provide care longer, which avoids or delays the need for costly institutional care.

Join us, January 9, 2025 and every Thursday of the month (4:30-5:30PM), as we look to help expand our services and support for caregivers and their families at New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church (2345 Tyler Rd., Ypsilanti, MI 48198).

 

We would love to see you at one of the chair exercise workshops to help improve your mobility or get tips on using your cell phone or tablet.

Take a short commute to visit the Packard Health West Willow Clinic in your neighborhood to learn more effective ways to prevent or manage a chronic illness.

Have fun with your neighbors learning more about and attending to your health needs.
