Since opening in 1990, Elderday Center offers a comprehensive adult day program of socialization, recreation and health maintenance that reinforces each participant's self-worth and dignity while enhancing current skills and abilities.

For over 25 years, Elderday Center has been providing day services for adults age 55 or older. Each activity has a therapeutic reason behind it and the simplest task can work on memory, cognition, fine or gross motor skills, alleviate depression or anxiety and improve self-worth.

Together these aspects help participants improve their quality of life, maintain or slow health deterioration often associated with aging and keep participants as independent as possible. Days are spent socializing, laughing, and sharing stories.

Elderday Center specializes in day memory care to enhance quality of life, cognition, socialization and overall wellness. The program uses an abundance of therapeutic activities to help participants retain a sense of independence and enjoy life.

Elderday's services can benefit those with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body dementia, Huntington's disease, cognitive impairments, and other age related disease. Those suffering from fragility, loneliness, isolation, anxiety and depression also have been shown to benefit.
