What is Dementia? 

Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning—thinking, remembering, and reasoning—and behavioral abilities to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Dementia ranges in severity from the mildest stage, when it is just beginning to affect a person’s functioning, to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of daily living.    ..READ MORE 


When to opt for a
​Senior day program

As a senior, it can be challenging to admit that you need help, especially if you've been a highly independent person used to caring for others all your life.  And if you're the caregiver, it may be equally difficult to consider allowing "strangers" to care for your beloved family member.

As with any service, the best time to start exploring what's available is before you actually need it. According to ElderCare Online, you should consider an adult day program when your loved one are having challenges with the following activites: 
  • He/She can no longer structure his or her own daily activities
  • He/She is isolated and desires companionship
  • He/She can not be safely left alone at home
  • He/She lives with someone who works outside  of the home or who is frequently away from home for other reasons
If you answered yes to any or all of the above questions, we understand we are here to help.
