Adult Day Services.
Caring Connection’s Adult Day Services offer a safe and inviting daytime environment where adults with memory loss and special needs can participate in meaningful and therapeutic activities to enhance their daily living.
Who can participate:
We welcome adults who are socially isolated or lonely, developmentally disabled, and those limited in their ability to function independently. They may be struggling with memory loss or cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease dementia, stroke, or Parkinson’s disease or physical or mental health challenges.
A custom designed program:
Participants can attend our adult day centers and receive a custom designed program of activities based on their individual needs and those of their caregivers.

Oftentimes, our adult day centers serve as a respite for caregivers who struggle with their own challenges and need to work or manage their own day-to-day responsibilities.
