Adult Day Programs

SJJCC’s Adult Day Programs offer a compassionate continuum of care in a warm, welcoming environment, with each program thoughtfully tailored to participants’ abilities, interests, and stage of need. Designed to meet individuals where they are, these programs support people living with Alzheimer’s, related dementias, Parkinson’s Disease and other neurodegenerative conditions by fostering connection, engagement, and purpose, while also providing care partners with meaningful respite and peace of mind.

Young Onset Adult Day Program

Designed for individuals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s living with young-onset dementia, this program fosters an age-appropriate environment where participants connect with peers and stay active through engaging activities such as basketball, dancing in the exercise studio, vocational work, and creative arts.

Older Adult Programs

Designed for adults age 65 and older, these programs recognize that as dementia progresses, participants’ needs, interests, and abilities evolve. SJJCC offers two distinct programs to ensure individuals receive the right level of support, with activities that are appropriately challenging without causing frustration.

Early to Middle Stage Program

Participants engage in adaptive group activities, including current events discussions, cognitive exercises, word games, and chair-seated exercise, all designed to stimulate the mind and encourage meaningful social interaction.

The Denise & Robert Silverberg Family Friendship Circle

Designed for individuals in more advanced stages of memory loss, this program focuses on comfort, connection, and dignity. In a structured and nurturing setting, participants take part in enriching experiences such as music, cooking, and reminiscence-based activities that spark familiarity, joy, and emotional connection.

Transportation Assistance

SJJCC arranges transportation through Able Ride and Project Independence. All programs include a hot kosher style lunch.

Funded in part by funds raised from the Friendship Circle Luncheon, the Yellow Rose Society, and private donations. Seed funding for Music, Movement, and Mind is provided by The Anette & Sheldon A. Sinnett BASICS Fund and the Sephardic Foundation on Aging to support the ongoing program.
