From the Director... CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:3 our 9th anniversary. For those of you readers who are not familiar with supportive day programs, a brief description may help: an adult supportive day pro- gram provides a safe, struc- tured, and active environ- ment for seniors who cannot or do not want to stay home alone during the day. Some seniors may find themselves socially isolated because they no longer drive, or may be experiencing age-related physical or cognitive limita- tions; many may also have a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's. Supportive day programs are non-medical models staffed by trained profes- sionals who provide care and supportive program- ming to elders. Programs are designed to engage seniors in maintaining cog- nitive and physical abilities. Programming often includes physical, social, and educa- tional activities such as light exercise, current events discussion, art, music, and entert ainment. In addition, a supportive day program provides much needed re- spite for caregivers, a key to relieving stress on the family as a whole. The Barnstable Adult Supportive Day Program, a service of the Town of Barnstable's Senior Ser- vices Division, is located in Centerville and operates Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The program provides a nutri- tious lunch, transportation services when necessary,is supported by sliding scale fees based on income, and offers a free trial day after an initial assessment is completed. Looking back to Septem- ber 1998, the day we first opened our doors to four elders and their caregivers , we have come to understand that trust is the key ingredi- ent that makes our program so successful. It is impor- tant that families trust our program to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for their loved one. Today, we have more than 30 seniors enrolled in our Adult Supportive Day Program, and have earned the right to celebrate. The moment a caregiver, family member, or friend discovers our program and gives us a phone call, the relation- ship begins and together we build on a plan to support seniors ancUheir caregivers who deserve support from their community in the town of Barnstable. So, if you are a caregiver or know of someone who needs support in caring for a senior, please join us to celebrate our 9th anniver- sary. Come learn more about what your community has to offer you. The Barnstable Adult Supportive Day Program's 9th Anniversary Open House will be Oct. 25 from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 524 Main St., Centerville. Refreshments will be served. RSVP to 508- 862-4750. This year, the supportive day programs in Bourne , Eastham, and Wareham are holding simultaneous open houses so we can get the word out in a collaborative manner. Please plan on stop- ping by to take a tour and to meet the staff. We are also offering an incredibly interesting five-week class here at the Center called "Creating Life Goals That Rock Your Socks Off" with a life coach. This is a follow up to one of our monthly 3"' age chats where boomers have been meeting to have conversations about the next stage of their lives. In the five sessions, people will be helped to identify goals for their lives that they feel passionate about , and then each participant will create a concrete plan to attain their goals. Session 1: Distinguishing Rockin' Goals vs. Shoulds (why bother with a goal that doesn't excite you?) Oct. 26 Session 2: Exploring Dreams & Possibilities (what are your fantasies and secret desires?) Nov. 7 Session 3: Choosing a Goal with "Your Name on It" (let's play with one that gets your juices going!) Nov. 11 Session 4: Getting Real (planning action steps and learning some tools for over- coming obstacles) Dec. 7 Session 5: Celebrating Your Rockin' Goal (keeping it alive and growing!) Dec. 14 The five-week seminar is only $99 (less then $10.00 an hour!) and will definitely make you feel like you have taken control of your life . Space is limited and you must register by Oct. 23 at the Senior Center. For more information call the Center or go to www.treehou.ser- etreats.com. Finally, huge thanks to all of you who supported us for our 9th Annual Silver Plate. I heard from many of you that when you were out and about the restaurants were all packed.
