Try Adult Day Care!

Studies prove that strong social ties, through friends, family and community groups, can preserve our brain health as we age!

By coming to Life Enrichment Center, Christine’s (left) and Lois’ families are able to go to work and have peace of mind knowing they’re safe

Caregivers: Find your balance through adult day care

Life Enrichment Adult Day Care allows working caregivers to attend to job responsibilities with the comfort of knowing their family member is in a professionally staffed, supportive environment.

Reliable support helps restore balance and enhance overall quality of life for caregivers, by providing you a much needed break!

I didn’t realize the value of Life Enrichment until I needed it. When my mother required around the clock care, I was concerned with my ability to continue work-ing. I’m a full-time school teacher and a part-time farmer. By my mom coming to

Life Enrichment I know she is safe, well cared for and enjoying time with newfound friends. I can continue to work and do the things I love.

One of the most satisfying things is my mom can live with our family as long as possible.

Hooked on Life Enrichment!

Thank you:

Participants of Life Enrichment Center enjoyed a program that was provided by LEC participant Gary Gragg. Gary is a fly fishing expert and ties his own fish-ing lures from duck, peacock, chicken, and pheasant feathers. Participants

enjoyed listening, learning and even tying some lures themselves!

Mable (left) looks on while Gary discusses the careful work that goes into fly tying.

Lois shows off some of the flies in Gary’s

fly box.

The following has been remembered with a gift to Life Enrichment Center

Revolutionary ProgramsLong time friend and volunteer Doyle Campbell (far right) provided an interesting program about the Revolutionary War. Doyle brought some fascinating stories and artifacts.

Our programs and activities are de-signed to keep participants engaged and stimulated. Studies show that this can preserve brain health as we age.

plants healthy at Life Enrichment.
