Angel Star Adult Day Care Center’s approach to Memory Care:

People with memory or cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s or Dementia, often feel lost or hopeless in many ways. At Angel Star Adult Day Care Center, we believe that seniors always deserve robust help and compassionate support.
We know that individuals living with a diagnosis of dementia often experience and express themselves through the five senses. The Opal program provides daily opportunities for us residents, to positively interact in our community through what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. That’s why we included programs such as Reminiscence Therapy and Dementia Care into our services and created a homelike environment, to support and help our members with their needs, and their loved ones can rest and feel satisfied knowing the person they care for is spending the day in an environment that will uplift them.
