Sunrise: Festivals and stage

Are you responsible for the care of someone age 60 or over? Are you feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities? Find out how to take better care of yourself at The Caregiving Workshop – Wednesday, November 4, at 10:00 a.m. at the Sunrise Senior Center (10650 West Oakland Park Boulevard). There’s no cost to attend, and bagels and coffee will be served.
The Caregiving Workshop – and a twice-monthly support group for caregivers – is presented in partnership with Jewish Family Service of Broward County. In addition to offering the camaraderie of your peers, and the expert guidance of a social worker, the program provides information about valuable resources – including respite care.
To register for the November 4 workshop, or to inquire about the ongoing support group, please call (954) 746-3670.
