Day Programs

Each program offers safe, structured opportunities for social engagement and mental stimulation tailored to an individual’s stage of disease. Programs are held in welcoming and supportive environments; these programs emphasize meaningful participation by focusing on strengths and abilities rather than limitations. Participants are encouraged to engage in activities that bring enjoyment, purpose, and connection. We believe it is essential for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia — and for their caregivers — to recognize that meaningful and fulfilling experiences remain possible after diagnosis.

Our center operates Monday-Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. We have daily cognitive activities, chair exercise, and art therapy,  as well as music therapy three times per week. Our participants can enjoy animal therapy at least two times per month as well as field trips offsite! Free lunch and morning refreshments are provided to all participants. We close out our fun-filled day with live entertainment! From DJs, to Elvis impersonators, participants exit with excitement.

We utilize staged rooms to accommodate each participant in their journey with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

Our early-stage room, “Alz Club,” is a fast-paced room focusing on trivia, word games, discussion-based activity and fun games like staff-made Family Feud, Jeopardy, and more!

Our moderate stage room, “Happy Days,” is a medium-paced room focusing on word games, discussion-based activities, table-top games, puzzles and more. This room utilizes many of the same activities as Alz Club, however, provides more time and space for processing, understanding, and communicating to meet the needs of the participants.

Our late-stage room, “Memory Lane Club,” is a slow-paced room focusing on tactile activities, bingo, simplified word games, crafting and more.

The Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center offers flexible programming designed around everyone’s unique interests and needs, allowing participants to engage at their own pace in meaningful activities. Our Director of Onboarding and Client Coordination meets personally with families and individuals living with dementia to ensure thoughtful placement in a program room setting where your loved one will feel safe, supported, and truly welcomed.
