Caring Days, an adult day care
center, bridges the gap between
independent living and highly
restricted care. It provides a secure
and happy environment for our
clients and carefully planned activities to keep them using their cognitive, language, social, and motor skills.
In 1994, members of First Presbyterian Church recognized the need for adult day care for those experiencing memory loss. Currently, 21 congregation of various denominations work together to provide this program. They incorporated into a group called Caring Congregations. Their first project, Caring Days Adult Day Care, opened on March 10, 1997.
