EXCITING NEWS WE HAVE OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THE CO-OP ADULT DAY COMMUNITY

Being a caregiver is a challenging proposition under the best of circumstances, let alone over the past year with COVID restrictions. Isolation, depression, and anxiety have not taken a break and have only intensified during this time. Getting a break from caregiving, if only for a few hours has been essentially impossible under these circumstances. However, due to the ongoing national vaccination rollout and new CDC guidelines allowing for those vaccinated to gather in small groups, communities are slowly reopening. With these welcome developments, the Co-op Adult Day Community is thrilled to announce that this week, it conducted its first community outing for caregivers and their loved ones at the Institute on Aging’s adult day facility at the Presidio in San Francisco. Participants were able to get a break from the day-to-day routine of caregiving by venturing out into the community and affiliating with others who are in a similar situation, have a yummy and nutritional lunch, be an active part of a live musical program and most importantly, they were able to take a deep breath, relax and soak up the ambience.

WE STILL HAVE A FEW SPOTS LEFT!
