MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – An activity centered day program for seniors with cognitive or physical impairments is coming to the Middletown Senior Center if there is enough interest.

“My husband always comes home smiling after a day with Jenny and her trained volunteers,” said the spouse of one of the participants. “They are so friendly and upbeat plus I don’t have to worry about him for five hours – that’s a real respite.”

Offering a variety of social experiences and one-to-one interactions appropriate to the level of the participant, it also includes morning snacks and a hot lunch.   

The program would be every Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Middletown Senior Center.

Jenny Johnson, executive director of the Clearlake-based Adult Day Care/Respite program, not only tries to meet the individualized needs of the participants but their caregivers also.  

Caregiver respite and support is an important aspect of the program.   

If you are interested in bringing this much-needed program to Middletown, please contact Jenny Johnson at 707-350-3030 or Helen Whitney at 707-928-9812.
