Senior Adult Day Programs
Brought to you Fay J. Lindner Foundation Senior Services Center
Young Onset Adult Day Program
Designed for individuals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s living with young-onset dementia, this program fosters an age-appropriate environment where participants connect with peers and stay active through engaging activities such as basketball, dancing in the exercise studio, vocational work, and creative arts.
Older Adult Programs
Designed for adults age 65 and older, these programs recognize that as dementia progresses, participants’ needs, interests, and abilities evolve. SJJCC offers two distinct programs to ensure individuals receive the right level of support, with activities that are appropriately challenging without causing frustration.
Early to Middle Stage Program
Participants engage in adaptive group activities, including current events discussions, cognitive exercises, word games, and chair-seated exercise, all designed to stimulate the mind and encourage meaningful social interaction.
The Denise & Robert Silverberg Family Friendship Circle
Designed for individuals in more advanced stages of memory loss, this program focuses on comfort, connection, and dignity. In a structured and nurturing setting, participants take part in enriching experiences such as music, cooking, and reminiscence-based activities that spark familiarity, joy, and emotional connection.
