OUR ADULT DAY SERVICES IN SARASOTA
At Town Square Sarasota, we’re confident the adult day care services we offer are the best local option for people with dementia and their caregivers. Our programming helps us accomplish our most important goal: Bringing happiness, fulfillment, and relief to senior citizens, whether or not they have memory or cognitive impairment.
Whether our members are with us for every weekday or just a short time while their caregiver takes a respite, their participation makes every moment at Town Square Sarasota special for all of us.
All of our senior day care services are based on reminiscence therapy, a revolutionary idea in dementia care. This means our approach involves encouraging our members to reflect on the memories they formed in their teenage years and twenties, which studies have shown that people with memory loss are best able to retain.
Our activities are structured around themed areas called storefronts, each of which is designed to evoke specific memories of young adulthood in the ‘50s while serving as a place for an ever-changing slate of enriching experiences.
Contact us to inquire further, or book a free tour – come see us in action, and we know you’ll want to be a part of the Town Square community.
Our Commitment to Dementia Care
Our services are designed to engage people at all levels of cognitive ability, but we have a particular focus on serving the needs of our members who have dementia. Our staff members are trained to interact with people with cognitive and memory impairments in ways that make them feel engaged and included.
