Quarterly Events

Davidson County Caregiver Academy 

We are pleased to announce the 2026 Davidson County Caregiver Academy schedule.

Caregiving can be an overwhelming and unfamiliar role, and many individuals step into it with little preparation or support. As part of the Davidson County Caregiver Academy, community members are invited to attend quarterly lunch-and-learn sessions that offer practical education in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Each session focuses on a different topic and is designed to help caregivers become confident, capable, and compassionate in caring for a loved one. These free educational luncheons are led by community experts and are open to anyone providing care for a family member or friend.

We are especially excited to serve as both the host site and educational presenter for the first session on Wednesday, March 18, 2026 @ 11:30 a.m. Our Medical Director, Dr. Lana Riemann, will present on Palliative Care vs. Hospice Care, offering valuable insight and an opportunity for meaningful community discussion around serious illness and care options.

To register for this session and future Caregiver Academy offerings, please contact Davidson County Senior Services at 336-242-2290.
