Programs
Who we Serve
Lord of Life Adult Day Health Center cares for adults age 18 years and older. Each individual participant in our program is treated as the unique person they are. While many are adjusting to life with limitations, our focus is on honoring who they are when they come in the door and helping them discover new interests and abilities. Our Center provides a social environment for everyone and additional services for stroke recovery individuals, head trauma victims and frail elderly dementia clients. We specialize in Alzheimer's care, offering respite services to the families of all participants.
Activities
To a person with some form of dementia the world can be a confusing and frightening place. The careful balance of stimulating activities and space for quiet time is crucial in maintaining a non-anxious environment. Our skilled and experienced activities staff keeps participants involved in the world around them by offering activities that give meaning and purpose. Our approach is to offer choices and to encourage but never force participation. Crafts and artwork, table games, bingo, small and large group activities, spiritual care and intergenerational programs are enjoyed by our participants. Our sports and exercise program includes: bowling, baseball, golf, senior aerobics, dancing and other active events. Throughout the year we go on field trips that are designed to provide recreation and education for our participants. Local entertainment is invited into our Center. We have enjoyed dancers, musicians, clowns and many community service programs that offer laughter and fun and make each day special.
Intergenerational Programming
The children in Lord of Life's Child Development Center participate on a regular basis with our special adult friends attending Lord of Life Adult Day Health Center. Experience has shown that each social contact enriches the life of both the child and the adult friend. The children and adults participate in a variety of activities including arts and crafts, field trips, reading together, storytelling and music. In addition, our Centers join together for our unique Celebration Program, enabling each adult to relate to the love and wonder of God. Celebration acknowledges and affirms differences of religious beliefs and practices. It is our intent to create an environment in which the everyone is aware of the mystery and presence of God. Weekly the children gather with the adults for a format of songs, prayer, and a short theme development. Celebration takes place on alternating Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. We welcome your inquiries and invite you to join us for Celebration at any time.
