What Others Say About Ridges Adult Day Program
“My mom has dementia….We are so blessed to have this wonderful program to bring her to each week. It gives me a break and mom a break as well, so we are both refreshed and renewed. My mom receives outstanding care….When I bring my Mom to the adult day program she is peaceful and content. She goes right in and makes herself at home.”
“I cannot say enough about the program…. Mom had been in a wheelchair for two years, and my dad was worn out from caring for her and had many issues of his own. But with the love and encouragement they have received at Ebenezer, my mom is now walking with a walker and there is a spring in my dad’s step that has not been there in a very long time. I won’t…say this program saved their lives, but I will say that it has given them back the will to live those lives.”
"The adult day program has been a Godsend for my husband and me. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2001 and needs guidance in everyday activities. He cannot be left alone for safety reasons. By taking him to the day program once a week, I am free to quilt with my quilt group, shop or run errands. I have a sense of relief and freedom knowing that he is being treated with compassion and care by the positive, fun-loving and excellent staff at Ebenezer.”
