We know it is an honor to care for loved ones. We also know that caregivers need breaks! The Ease the Day Program is an initiative that gives family caregivers and their older adult loved ones (55 and better) a much-needed break without worry or guilt.

Adult Day Program
Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. Ease the Day gives family caregivers and their older adult loved ones a much-needed break without worry or guilt. This adult day program is a warm, welcoming space for older adults with memory, cognitive, or physical challenges. While participants enjoy fun, meaningful activities in a safe group setting, caregivers get a well-deserved break.

Ease the Day provides reliable, structured care in a group environment on-site at CSC.
Our trained staff and compassionate volunteers provide personalized attention and joyful engagement, giving caregivers peace of mind, time to rest or participate in senior center programs, run errands, or simply recharge.
You can expect social connections for you and your loved ones, lunch, support in navigating resources, and referrals for additional supports.
Our Program runs Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, 9:30 am - 2:00 pm. A typical day includes conversation, creative activities, movement/exercise, lunch, and enrichment activities.
If you can make a suggested contribution for the respite you receive, please do so. While the going rate is in the range of $35 per hour, we suggest a contribution in the range of $5 to $20 per hour.
