 Sharing the Caring Adult Day Services program is one of the
prevention services for seniors United Way invests in. Adult Day Centers help keep seniors at home, while giving the caregiver help throughout the day and keeps them from becoming isolated. According to the Alzheimer's Association, adult day centers, like Sharing the Caring at Third Street Alliance, can provide a much needed break during the day for a caregiver to rest, run errands, or do other tasks. The break in caregiving also is vital in helping to prevent exhaustion of the caregiver. If the caregiver works during the day, adult day service programs provide an opportunity to balance a job with the caregiving duties.
Sharing the Caring uses Montessori Method in dementia care, allowing the use of all five senses to activate and stimulate senior's minds throughout the day. Activities they take part in include arts and crafts, chair exercises, puzzles, memory games, baking and cooking, motor skill games, iPad use, inter-generational activities with our Learning Center children, therapy dog visits, music therapy and gardening.
Sharing the Caring is located at 41 North Third Street Easton, and is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Transportation can be arranged for you or your loved one, if needed. For more information about the program please call 610.258.6271.
