Elder Care is launching new programs to support caregivers, thanks to a grant from OK Cares, funded by Oklahoma Human Services.
Appearing on COMMUNITY CONNECTION, Micheal Colaw with Elder Care said the organization is introducing the Open Door Café on March 20, providing a space for caregivers to connect while their loved ones receive care from trained professionals.
