El Dorado Schmieding Home Caregiver Training Receives SHARE Grant

On Wednesday, January 6th the South Arkansas Center on Aging’s Schmieding Home Caregiver Training Program in El Dorado received a grant for $13,900 from the SHARE Foundation for student scholarships. Since 1996, “the mission of SHARE Foundation is to identify, develop and foster programs and services that further the health and well-being of the people of our community and surrounding areas.” Every penny of this generous grant will be used to make it possible for students with financial need to become certified home caregivers who will work in and around the community. These trained caregivers will greatly increase the number of available and qualified individuals, and help senior adults and their families live longer, healthier, happier lives together.

The staff of the El Dorado SHCT program are extremely thankful and honored to receive this grant, and look forward to a great year serving the community. If you or someone you know could benefit from a SHARE scholarship, call us at 870.639.1744 or stop by our office located in downtown El Dorado at 106 W. Main St., Suite 310. Certified caregiver classes are enrolling now!
