Club Pathway
We are pleased to offer "Club Pathway" twice a week at JABA. The Club offers an opportunity for socialization to individuals experiencing early memory loss, including alzheimer's disease, or those who could benefit from a structured program. Meaningful projects are provided by the community of non-profit organizations to prepare their bulk mailings, newsletters and fund raising drives. The group meets twice a week in an upbeat, fun environment. The "Club" can act as a transition for Adult Day Healthcare while providing respite for the caregiver.
For more information about Club Pathway, please contact Suzanne Brower at (434) 817-5222 or by e-mail.
