Benefits to Care Partners/Families
Care partners/families can feel confident knowing their loved one is cared for by qualified staff in a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. This time allows caregivers to rest, attend to personal responsibilities, or maintain employment, helping to reduce stress and prevent burnout.
Additionally, regular participation in the program can enhance the well-being of their loved one, which in turn strengthens relationships and allows families to spend more meaningful, quality time together.
The Cottage - Adult Day Program operates:
Monday – Friday
11:00 AM – 4:30 PM
