Adult Care Programs
 

Our Older Adult Program

Our older adult day services are designed to meet the needs of older adults who need some degree of support.

In every way, the atmosphere and activities are designed with older adults in mind. Comfortable surroundings encourage seniors to make themselves at home. A cozy sun porch is perfect for talking with friends or just plain relaxing. The adjoining common rooms encourage group participation. All activities, including intergenerational ones, are strictly voluntary, but are designed to be too good to resist!

Individual Challenges are not Barriers

The center is completely barrier-free and fully accessible to wheelchair users.

Older adults with physical challenges or memory loss enjoy activities designed to offer enjoyment and success. These opportunities include greenhouse, gardening, baking, discussing today's news or yesterday's pleasures, reading and listening to stories and jokes, creating arts and crafts, and many others. The professional staff and the social setting combine to meet the participants' cognitive, social, physical and emotional needs.
