I look forward to the program and meeting new people. The staff are amazing. It is a great program for seniors at home. This program gives me a purpose. I want to thank all the staff- they are amazing.

I wish other people knew about this program. I found this helped
my mom have more independence and helped her with her dementia-especially with recall. I truly can't thank everyone involved enough. As a caregiver it also gave me time to get other things done, and time for myself.
