Hickey Center for Alzheimer's Care) is a local, non-profit organization that offers research-based day programming for individuals diagnosed with adult cognitive decline to engage in mental and physical exercise, plus socialization, in order to promote a higher level of cognitive function for longer. Our members and their care partners are able to maximize their quality-of-life post-diagnosis.

We love our volunteers at Via! This month, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting Westminster students and the Ambassador Committee from the Augusta Metro Chamber. Volunteers bring joy, kindness, and camaraderie for our Via members.

Members attend school at Via to fight for their memories and embrace life while living with cognitive decline through a curriculum designed to address cognition, health, and community.

We are grateful to the Community Foundation for its support of Creative Journeys: Pathways to Expression, an immersive, arts-based program created specifically for individuals living with early- to mid-stage Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Day Support for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or related dementias with the Jud C. Hickey Center

What is Adult Day Care? It is a structured comprehensive program that abides by government standards and provides a variety of health, social and related support services in a protective, homelike environment. The center’s clients participate on a pre-scheduled basis as walk-in clients cannot be accepted. The Center staff includes Registered Nurses (RNs), Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), and specially trained volunteers. Consultants are available to provide services as needed in order to supplement professional staff and enhance the quality of the program. Who is eligible for Adult Day Care? Candidates must be diagnosed by a physician as having Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. In addition, an assessment by the center’s nursing staff is required prior to enrollment to determine the level of participation of which they are capable. Ideal candidates are individuals who have good general health and mobility and are able to perform activities of daily living with little to moderate supervision. How does the Jud C. Hickey Center help caregivers? The Adult Day Center and In-home Respite Care Program provide caregivers with a much needed break from the daily responsibilities of direct care. These services allow caregivers to: Rest assured that their loved one is engaged and active with friends at the Center.

Continue to work outside the home.

Delay placement in a nursing home for as long as possible.

Schedule appointments, run errands, or simply have “personal time.”
