Senior Day Program Helps Fight Isolation, Offers Family Respite And Support

The James L. West Senior Adult Day Program serves as a bridge between home and residential care. For families who care for their loved ones at home, the program provides flexible, secure and affordable assistance from highly trained staff Monday through Friday.

People with dementia can attend the program as long as they are willing to attend, can participate in, and benefit from the scheduled activities. Each person is assessed beforehand to make sure the program can meet their needs.

Isolation can be devastating for many older adults with dementia and their caregivers. For a person with dementia, socialization is much more than just interacting with others. Socialization is interacting with people, places and things, creating an awareness experience that keeps the person in the present.

The engaging environment and stimulating activity of our day program helps participants remain interested, independent and socially active. By being around others, socializing and participating in special dementia-specific programming, the participant may sleep better, experience a boost in mood, and feel more awake and alert.

The program is available up to 5 days a week, Monday through Friday, (7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.) every week of the year. Participants can attend every day or several days a month. 

The cost of the program is $110 per day and is not covered by Medicare or Medicaid. Some long-term care insurance will reimburse for this type of care. We are happy to help you submit for reimbursement if your policy covers this type of care. A completed Admission application is required for participation in the program.

Expansion will Help More Families

Dementia-specific adult day programming is needed now more than ever. A newly renovated, 6,500-square-foot property at 6050 Harris Parkway will be the new home for the James L. West Senior Day Program.

As we look forward to growing into our new space, we are continuing to raise money to fund this project and the Senior Day Program.
