The Adult Day Program, often referred to as “The Club”, specializes in taking care of individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other age related cognitive issues. Club members socialize, exercise, do crafts, garden and enjoy themselves while their caregivers get time to take care of errands, get some rest, and have time to re-energize.

Our experienced staff safely and gently encourages interaction between participants that enhances mental acuity, socialization, and a feeling of safety and comfort.

Our facility in Bath provides a warm, intimate environment with plenty of space for a multitude of activities.

Safety, Dignity & Respect


Studies have shown that dementia patients who are able to maintain feelings of dignity and respect are less likely to become depressed and anxious which leads to a better quality of life. At The Club, we make it a primary focus to remember who the person has always been, find ways to boost feelings of confidence and self-worth, and take the time to empathetically listen to ensure all emotions and feelings are understood.

Meaningful Activities

Engaging activities for individuals with dementia can significantly boost their self-esteem and overall well-being. Our Program Managers take the time to understand each participant’s interests, needs, and abilities. Based on this understanding, they design tailored projects that are both enjoyable and achievable, ensuring a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Companionship

For many people with dementia, the world moves too fast and they often feel left behind. At the Respite Care program, the world moves at a slower, gentler pace. Companionship for seniors is incredibly important, as it is for anyone at any stage of their lives. It promotes better mental health, better physical health, creates new routines, and really, just makes life better. Our staff and volunteers take the time to engage each participant in gentle activities and conversation. Whether it’s enjoying a furry visitor, putting together a puzzle, building a model or having a snack together, our Program Managers help our participants to deepen their sense of connection with others.

Gentle Exercise

Everyone knows that exercise is especially beneficial to seniors, but it is often difficult to help people with Alzheimers or dementia get the exercise they need to feel energized and healthy. The gentle exercise activities developed by our staff address this concern. The daily exercises are social, engaging and elevate moods, yet they also work to improve flexibility and coordination which reduce the risk of falls.
