Adult Respite Care Program at "The Club"

Are you caring for a loved one and starting to feel stressed, run down, and alone? If the answer is yes, then think about adult respite care at The Club, an economical fee based program for individuals experiencing mild cognitive impairment.  

Two days per week, The Club offers supervised activities and companionship in a caring, home-like setting.  A vibrant "adult center", it offers stimulating programs, engaging activities, and safe exercise classes.  Club members also have opportunities to socialize, reminisce, and enjoy lunch together. These are just some of the benefits of Club membership.

So, if you feel you need a break, call The Center at 508-359-3665 and inquire about The Club and availability.
