Saturday Day Programs
Saturday Day Programs
Just like our weekday program, Saturday Day Program provides respite to caregivers and stimulation for participants. Each program provides safe, structured socialization and mental stimulation activities that are appropriate to the individual’s stage in the disease process. All take place in welcoming and supportive settings. They offer meaningful activities that enable each member to participate as fully as possible. Programs focus on abilities, not on disabilities – on what people can do, happily and productively, and not on what they can no longer do. There are opportunities to experience things that they can still take pleasure and joy in doing. We believe that it’s critical for the wellbeing of those with Alzheimer’s and other forms for dementia, and for the lives of their caregivers, that they realize and experience that there is meaningful life to be enjoyed after diagnosis.
