HOW OUR PROGRAM WORKS

The Gathering Place is a social model day service dedicated exclusively to early-mid memory loss. We are currently open four days a week, Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9:30-3:30, with lunch provided.

Each day in our vibrant program we incorporate the six key elements of wellness, which are: physical, cognitive, social, emotional, spiritual, and community.

Social

Socialization is our specialty! We start and end our day with a casual social time, sharing lots of laughs and stories. Socializing is a priority in all our activities. Staying engaged keeps your mind active.

Community

We believe in our participants. The Gathering Place is involved in countless service projects, throughout the year, and actively participate in the community.
