We believe that everyone has the need for meaningful and enjoyable interactions, despite their cognitive or physical limitations. That’s why our program is focused on engaging our participants mentally, physically, and socially. The results? Better sleep, increased engagement, and an overall better mood — for both our participants and their caregivers.
We care for adults 18 and older with needs such as assistance with eating, toileting, ambulating, and dressing/bathing. We assess and monitor health conditions and alert family members to changes in health, which helps prevent hospitalization.
3 million older adults are treated in emergency departments per year for fall injuries. After a fall, people often become afraid of falling again, even if they weren't injured. They become less active, leading to weakness, increasing their risk for falling again. Fear of falling or injuries sustained in a fall can rob an individual of their independence.
Our Fall Prevention Services are open to the community, in addition to our adult day service participants.
Some of us are the help our loved ones depend on. Family caregivers need support to do a good job. Being a caregiver is hard work. It can be emotionally draining, cause you to miss work, trigger physical ailments, create financial strain, and limit your time with other family members, friends, or your hobbies. Caring for and making decisions regarding older loved ones can even tear families apart.
We provide resources for caregivers of adults, including a support group, Supportive Circle.
We provide a safe and secure day program for adults 18 and older that will provide peace of mind to family members of regular participants, health oversight of frail older adults, and social, physical, and cognitive enhancement of function and quality of life.

A Matter of Balance
Many older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater.
A Matter of Balance is an evidence-based group program for older adults that is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels. The program is a comprehensive approach to maximizing activity engagement and function, and reducing fall risks. It is designed for small groups of older adults living independently, in community settings, or senior housing.
