Are you caring for an older adult who may be isolated, unable to get out on a regular basis or simply needs socialization? Do you know a senior with a physical limitation and/or a mild to moderate memory challenge? If so, Faye’s Place Group Respite Program may be a wonderful opportunity. Faye’s Place meets three days a week in Asheville (Tue, Wed, Thur) and one day a week in Hendersonville (Tue). – to provide socialization and support in a group setting through peer-to-peer communication and peer-level understanding of common memories and life experiences. We provide services in Buncombe and Henderson counties.
Program Overview
Enjoyable, educational and memory-enhancing activities are provided within a structured and supervised environment. Nutritious vegetarian meals are prepared on-site and enjoyed within a peer community to foster meal enjoyment and improved nutrition. Appropriate physical activities are included to improve or maintain strength and balance. Faye’s Place is a structured social program, a unique approach to senior care. It is not adult day care, a dementia group, or a senior center. Our team includes a program manager, a program coordinator, a program facilitator, a professional cook, and trained volunteer assistants. We offer individual, respectful, and caring support.
Caregiver Benefits
Caregivers will have peace of mind knowing loved ones are well-cared-for in a safe, welcoming, secure environment. Professional administration and caring and trained volunteers for loved ones allow time for self-care and to pursue personal activities. We also offer confidential consultations and resources for aging issues
