One of the most gracious things anyone can do is make another person feel at home. And each week, Muir's Chapel is home to some very special senior citizens. Our church is privileged to host a respite program originated through Guilford County's Adult Center for Enrichment. Known as the GRACE program, we have a lively group that now gathers at our Abernethy Meeting House. The group participates in all sorts of activities such as song, storytelling and crafts.

Serving Guilford County for more than 20 years, the Adult Center for Enrichment is a private non-profit agency whose mission is to enrich the lives of frail and impaired adults, their families, and the community through specialized adult day services, respite care, education and support. ACE offers three adult day centers, three group respite programs, CarePartners at Home, and Caregiver Education.

Both the Adult Day Centers and Group Respite sites engage participants in on-site activities such as art and music, providing fun and friendship while encouraging their independence in a safe environment.

CarePartners at Home, an in-home volunteer respite program, gives the caregivers invaluable time and expands the life of their loved one in a familiar setting.

With Caregiver Education, the focus is on providing the caregivers with the information they need to best help themselves and their loved ones live up to their potential.
