Our Program
Caregivers are dedicated and caring, but more often than not they are exhausted. They need a break from caregiving to take care of their own needs. DayBreak gives the caregiver an hour, a half-day or a full day of respite while their loved one engages in meaningful activity and social interaction in our “home away from home” setting.
Our Services
An extension of home, DayBreak offers a community of support, love, respect, acceptance, patience and humor. We encourage, laugh with and protect our participants, supporting their families in the process. At DayBreak, we specialize in the care of those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, but we also care for a variety of other diagnoses including Parkinson’s, stroke, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and the Developmentally Disabled. Also included in the scope of our services, are those individuals needing minimal assistance and/or supervision.
