Growing and maintaining a sense of community for your elderly loved one helps to create a wonderful sense of well-being and belonging. A community evokes positive memories and helps them stay connected and feel less lonely. Being part of a community and participating in activities can help ward off depression, loneliness and stress.

Getting outdoors encourages seniors to increase their physical and mental activity levels which in turn contributes to warding off things like dementia, cognitive decline, immobility and disease. At Then & Now we make the most of every summer day!

Did you know that nearly 1/3 of caregivers are helping a family member or friend for at least 20 hours a week? That can be so exhausting!

The CDC is a great resource for current caregivers, or those who expect to be a caregiver in the future!

Provides easy access to most current CDC data on key indicators of health and well-being, screenings and vaccinations, and mental health among older adults.

Instead of hanging out inside all day, we go on daily excursions, and some are more significant than others. Last summer we were able to tour the Duck Pond, where the Mallards play!

It can be extremely hard to accept help as a caregiver, but we want to help you overcome the caregiver guilt. With an adult day center, you can set aside time to focus on other tasks, and your loved one will have a great day with friends!
