Caring Days - A Program of Caring Congregations
Caring
Days, an adult day care center, bridges the
gap between independent living and highly
restricted care. It provides a secure and
happy environment for our clients and
carefully planned activities to keep them
using their cognitive, language, social, and
motor skills.
In
1994, members of First Presbyterian Church
recognized the need for adult day care for
those experiencing memory loss. Currently, 21
congregation of various denominations work
together to provide this program. They
incorporated into a group called Caring
Congregations. Their first project, Caring
Days Adult Day Care, opened on March 10, 1997.
In
1998, at the age of one, Caring Days won the
prestigious LOTUS Award. This award is
presented annually by the Women's Committee of
Spain Rehabilitation Center in Birmingham,
Alabama. It is given in recognition of
outstanding contributions toward improving
quality of life for people with disabilities.
In 2000, Caring Days proudly became an agency
of United Way of West Alabama.

The West
Alabama area has been very generous and supportive
of
the
adult day
care. Many people and organizations have helped to
provide
quality
care for our clients as well as support and respite for our
caregivers.
