What sets us apart from all the rest…
DEMENTIA-SPECIFIC
Our Adult Day Program for Dementia is a specialized program designed to provide a safe and stimulating environment for individuals living with dementia. It is a community-based service that offers a structured daily schedule of meaningful activities and socialization opportunities to help promote cognitive functioning, social engagement, and overall well-being.
PERSON-CENTERED
The program provides a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs and abilities of participants. These services may include therapeutic activities such as art, music and pet therapy, intergenerational visits, reminiscence therapy, physical exercises, and sensory and cognitive stimulation delivered by a highly trained Recreation Therapist. Additionally, assistance with personal care, meals, and medication assistance is provided by certified PSWs.
The primary goal of our Adult Day Program for Dementia is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with dementia by supporting their functional abilities, reducing isolation and loneliness, and allowing respite for caregivers. All staff members, including Recreation Therapists, PSWs, and management, work closely with participants to offer individualized care and support in a secure, home-like setting.
DEMENTIABILITY MODEL OF CARE
Participating in an Adult Day Program for Dementia can provide individuals with a sense of purpose, maintain their cognitive abilities for longer, and improve their overall well-being. Following the DementiAbility Model of Care, our staff go beyond simply occupying individuals' time; they strive to offer them purposeful and advantageous therapeutic recreation programming while fostering long-lasting friendships. Our Adult Day Program is in the process of becoming a DementiAbility certified facility.
GROUP EXERCISES CLASSES
Engaging in physical exercise offers a multitude of advantages for seniors with dementia. Firstly, it serves as a powerful tool to help manage and improve cognitive function. Studies have shown that regular exercise can enhance memory, attention, and overall cognitive performance. By stimulating the brain and increasing blood flow, physical activity plays a pivotal role in slowing down the progression of dementia-related symptoms.
HOME-LIKE DINING EXPERIENCE
At our Adult Day Program, we take pride in offering a personalized, home-like dining experience for our participants. We believe that food is not just nourishment, but also an opportunity for socialization and comfort. Our dedicated team of staff take great care in designing a menu that caters to the individual dietary needs and preferences of each participant. We prioritize fresh, nutritious ingredients and offer a variety of options to ensure everyone's taste buds are satisfied. We strive to create an atmosphere that fosters a sense of community and familiarity. Our program aims to provide not just a meal, but a dining experience that feels like home.
