Support for People with Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
Lenox Hill Neighborhood House (LHNH) is expanding the hours of "CARE," its social day program for older adults with Alzheimer 's disease or dementia. The CARE program has been enriching the lives of older adults with dementia for many years. The CARE program's person-centered approach supports participants with tailored therapeutic activities that are stimulating and enjoyable and promote their engagement with others, with the focus of its programming on music and art. Other activities provided by CARE include exercise, pet therapy, storytelling and writing, group discussions, poetry, cooking and more.
The CARE program will continue to be available from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Starting in July, it will also be extended through the afternoon from 3:00 p.m. – 7:30p.m. LHNH will continue to offer round trip, wheelchair-accessible transportation and fresh and delicious meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner). If you believe the CARE program could be of interest to your friends or family, you can leave a message on the voice mail box of the CARE program office at 212.744.5022 ext.1301 or send an e-mail to careinfo@lenoxhill.org. You can also visit LHNH directly to inquire about the CARE program at its offices at 343 East 70th Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenues).
