Editor:
We are writing to raise awareness and offer support for the Adult Day Program at KinVillage.
This program was life changing for us and our families as both of our spouses were diagnosed with dementia/Alzheimer’s.
Caring for someone with dementia is a full-time responsibility that you willingly take on, wanting to provide the best possible life for your spouse or loved one.
You believe you are the only one with the knowledge to properly care for and provide the psychological needs of your loved one.
However, this is a 24-hour responsibility that takes its toll on your health and psyche and can go on for several years.
The Day Program for Older Adults at Kin Village is an excellent program, run by wonderful people who genuinely care for their clients and the families affected by dementia.
It was the first sense of relief we felt after several years of caring for our spouses. The program provides activity and relief customized for your situation from a few hours to a few days a week. It considers the individual needs of each client and offers, music, exercise, companionship, healthy lunches and many more beneficial aspects around socialization.
We are encouraging your readers to consider donating to this program in order for it to continue and expand to help other families in our South Delta community facing this critical need in their lives.
