“This program has improved my husband’s life ten-fold! Recognizing there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, the Adult Day Program is the best medication. I found it so challenging to plan my husband’s social calendar and now thanks to SJJCC he is not bored, he is constantly enjoying new activities. Socialization is vital.”
