ACAPcommunity Board of Directors is pleased to welcome ACAP Statesville, our newest chapter!
What happens when dedicated professionals and community leaders ―people who understand the joys and challenges adult-children experience each day in caring for their aging parents ―become passionate about providing meaningful support for front-line family caregivers? Well, if you’re in Statesville, NC, you start ACAP Statesville!
ACAP Statesville will present its first program for the Statesville area on Tuesday, September 17, 5:30-7;00 pm, at South River Baptist Church, Family Life Center (2659 S.
