"OUR PLACE"

A Friendly, Safe Place for Persons with Dementia or in the Early-Mid Stages of Alzheimer’s Disease

The Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging (SAAA) currently operates 3 group Respite Centers for individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia.

An assessment will be conducted by an SAAA Case Manager to determine whether or not the individual is eligible to attend Our Place.

For participants, stimulating activities are provided for both men and women; individual care plans are prepared; participants enjoy the company of other adults; crafts, music, exercise, and many more activities are planned daily. A hot noon meal is served and snacks are provided.

Participants are charged on a sliding fee scale ($5.00-$20.00).

Caregivers are provided respite care; information and assistance; support group meetings; and resources.
