SUNSHINE CLUB
The Sunshine Club Adult Day Care is a Respite Program for persons with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders.
Purpose
The purpose of our respite program is two-fold. First, to provide activities for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders in a caring environment; and second, to provide respite and supportive services to caregivers.
The respite program is a one-day a week social activity program which offers games, exercise, sing-a-longs, reminiscence, storytelling, current events, and other events especially designed for persons with dementia. Staff, along with volunteers, will provide individualized attention to participants in the program.
Additional services to caregivers, such as information referral, and consultation on long-term planning, including legal and financial consultation, education, and counseling are available.
