Our Adult Day Services
Creating an Enriching Environment
Town Square University Parkway offers innovative adult day care services that are structured for both people with an impairment and for their caregivers. It’s through our programming that we bring enrichment to seniors in Manatee County. Our model helps us create a fulfilling environment offering education, support, and social connection, within a therapeutic reminiscence atmosphere.
Our Commitment to Dementia Care
Imagine waking up one day and not recognizing your surroundings or any of the people you come into contact with. You can’t recall the date or year, and all the information you can gather just confuses you more. This would be distressing and painful for anyone, but for those with a memory disorder, it can be a regular occurrence. That is why we’re devoted to helping relieve the symptoms and involuntary behaviors associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia through reminiscence therapy.
While we welcome people with varying degrees of cognitive and physical abilities, we particularly gear our services towards the needs of our members with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. Our staff have full dementia training and are experts in the most beneficial ways to interact with people who have a cognitive impairment. Learn more about our robust dementia care background.
Our Activity Model
We understand that people’s interests and preferences may change over time. Town Square University Parkway provides a wide range of activities that all members can find enjoyment and stimulation. We also hope to give our members a sense of freedom they may otherwise not have experienced at home.
Our members’ active participation is what makes Town Square University Parkway such a welcoming and beneficial place. We bring people together, whether they’re here every weekday or just for a short seasonal stay.
At Town Square, activities take place in themed areas called storefronts. Each storefront is made to help our members vividly remember specific times in their young adulthood.
Contact us to inquire further, or schedule a free tour – when you see us in person, you’ll understand why we’re the best local adult day care option.
INTRODUCING OUR STOREFRONTS
Town Square University Parkway features 14 different storefronts, each offering different categories of activities. Thanks to our wide range of activity areas, all of our members have the freedom to choose between different storefronts and activities that interest them.
