The AOS Day Program specializes in delivering a high quality Day Program to individuals with Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD).

The Day Program (or as we like to refer to it “The Club”) operates 7 days a week. Our core program runs Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. Currently 55 to 60 clients participate each day. During the week, clients also have the option of staying until 7:00 pm in our Extended Hours Program. On Saturday and Sunday up to 15 clients participate from 9:30 am to 7:00 pm. Five of these clients can stay overnight for the entire weekend to provide enhanced caregiver respite.

Clients are involved in small and large group programs during the day, based on their interests and abilities. One on one programs can be offered when volunteer support is available. Activities offered include: regular physical exercise, cognitive stimulation geared to the clients’ abilities, Montessori programs, art therapy, aroma therapy, horticulture, games adapted to various levels of functioning, crafts, music and sing alongs, dancing, baking, walks indoors and outdoors, theme days, etc. The goal is always to have clients succeed in whatever activity they chose to participate in.

Each client’s social-recreational history is obtained at the time of their admission to the Day Program and is used to guide the staff in developing a person centered, individualized program for each client. Each care plan is reviewed and updated quarterly.

The Day Program staff (Recreation Program Specialist, Nursing and Social Work) maintains close contact with family caregivers and monitors the health and social/recreational well-being of each client.

Transportation to and from the program is available for the day program hours of 9:30 am to 3:00 pm and extended hours at 7:00 pm.  It is a service provided by the Boys' and Girls' Club Senior Transit.
