Friends Club brings together active gentlemen in the early-to-mid
stages of Alzheimer’s disease in a caring, safe and secure environment. Our program is specially designed to
meet the social and emotional needs of men who are experiencing memory loss due
to diagnosed dementia. We
are a non-profit, non-sectarian organization.
Friends
Club resembles men’s organizations and clubs
that a member may have belonged to earlier in his life, providing a familiar,
non-institutional setting. Participants gather with trained staff and
committed volunteers four days a week to socialize with peers, share common
interests and experiences, and enjoy therapeutic, social and physical activities.
The Friends Club Mission
is twofold:1.
To help club members maintain their highest level of functioning,
support emotional and physical independence, heighten self-esteem, and enhance
overall quality of life.
2.
To provide respite and support for caregivers.
