Cape Fear Group Homes, Inc., now known as Cape Fear Life Enhancement Services, is honored to have received a $180,000 grant from The Endowment. This funding, distributed over two years, will support the development and implementation of a new staff role aimed at addressing the pressing issue of staff turnover.
The piloted role of Integrated Education Coordinator is specifically designed to tackle the challenges faced by Direct Support Staff and Employment Specialists. The coordinator will foster connections with community resources and cultivate partnerships, ensuring that staff training addresses all aspects of work-life balance. These efforts are intended to make staff retention more sustainable and effective.
Anita Ford, Project Development Coordinator at Cape Fear Life Enhancement Services, prepared and submitted the grant application.
This initiative is made possible through the generosity of The Endowment, an organization whose mission is to promote health, education, safety, and economic opportunity for residents of New Hanover County.

Life Enhancement Services’ 1st Annual DSP Training Carnival was a great success! We hosted six interactive training booths where Direct Support Professionals stopped by for a fun and engaging learning experience. Staff enjoyed the opportunity to grow their skills while connecting with others DSPs through good food, games, and prizes. It was a day of learning, laughter, and celebration of the incredible work our DSPs do every day!
Cape Fear Life Enhancement Services is dedicated to providing ongoing options and opportunities to the people we serve in our group homes. We take pride in the fact we are always seeking to expand our knowledge base, skills, and continuing education. On July 28th, we participated in a Webinar presented by the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) about the Money Follows the Person (MFP) program.
The “No Frills MFP Transitional Coordination Training” was hosted by Steve Stromm, MFP Project Director and Tracy Pakornsawat, MFP Development Coordinator. MFP is a state project that helps NC Medicaid-eligible North Carolinians living in inpatient facilities to move into their own homes and communities with supports. Cape Fear Life Enhancement Services has a 4-bed Waiver Home for individuals who are a part of the MFP project or already have an Innovations Waiver Slot.
