The Supportive Day Program is designed to promote and enhance the social, physical and cognitive skills of elders. It is suitable for the memory impaired, those with physical limitations or those who are isolated and homebound. It is an opportunity for caregivers to have a well-deserved respite with the assurance that their loved one is in a safe and stimulating environment. It is designed to alleviate stress and provide support for the caregivers' families.
Interactive activities offered include games, chair exercise, arts and crafts, walking group, book club, chorus and special outings. Participants will have the opportunity to explore new interests and socialize in a safe and supportive atmosphere.
The program is open 9 am - 3 pm, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Income-eligible clients may be able to attend our program with some assistance from Tri-Valley Elder Services, Inc. The program includes a continental breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack. Transportation is available at no additional cost to Bellingham residents. For out-of-town members, transportation is made on a case-by-case basis.
