CARE Program

CARE is the Neighborhood House’s award-winning arts-based day program for older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Drawing on a person-centered approach, the CARE program offers high quality care and socialization services to individuals living with dementia and provides respite services to their caregivers and families.

Our CARE program currently operates in person every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. We also offer remote programming on Zoom every Monday and Friday from 11 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and from 1 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. CARE works to increase client orientation and interaction through participatory programs such as music, art therapy, meditative movement, chair yoga/exercise and storytelling to increase participant self-understanding and acceptance, in addition to facilitating reminiscence and memory. We provide a range of additional activities to stimulate clients’ cognitive and physical abilities. A light breakfast and a nutritious lunch are served each day of in-person programming.

To enroll, clients must be 60 years of age or older, unable to function independently because of mental impairment and in need of support throughout the day. A diagnosis of dementia is required for participation in the program.
