A big thank you to our Central Day Program families giving us such great reviews! đź’™
In our recent survey, 95% of caregivers gave us a 95% approval rating and more than 90% would recommend our Day Program to other families.
Additionally, survey participants cited improvements in their loved ones’ cheerfulness, withdrawn behavior and depression symptoms. Our caregivers also noted positive changes in their own behaviors, including improvement in their patience as well as an uptick in their sense of humor and cheerfulness.
If you are interested in our Day Program at Central or West, we currently have openings at both campuses. Visit our website to learn more and schedule a tour to come in and see for yourself!
