Alzheimer's Community Care Expands Day Center Services for Dementia Patients in South Florida

Alzheimer's Community Care has announced additional funding that will cover day center attendance expenses for up to 58 new participants with dementia-related disorders across Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties. The funding will support five days per week of specialized care for eight months, providing significant relief for families and caregivers navigating the challenges of Alzheimer's and related dementias.

The organization operates multiple Specialized Adult Alzheimer's Day Centers that offer structured programming Monday through Friday. A complete list of centers and their operating schedules is available at https://www.alzcare.org/day-centers. These facilities provide caregivers with essential respite while ensuring patients receive professional care and engagement.

David Franklin, President and CEO of Alzheimer's Community Care, emphasized the importance of this expansion, stating the organization's commitment to providing specialized, compassionate care to families. The new funding represents a substantial investment in community-based support services for those affected by neurocognitive disorders.

Participants at the day centers engage in various therapeutic activities designed to enhance quality of life, including art therapy, music therapy, and robotic pet therapy. The centers also provide breakfast and lunch, ensuring nutritional needs are met while offering social interaction and cognitive stimulation.

This funding initiative addresses the growing need for dementia-specific services in South Florida, where Alzheimer's Community Care has operated as a nonprofit organization for more than two decades. The organization maintains its mission of promoting community-based, family-centered care through the belief that where there is help, there is hope for those living with neurocognitive disorders.
