Further partnership efforts come together in Perspectives Adult Day Center. The day center is designed to assist persons with Alzheimer's Disease and related forms of dementia, and their families. It is the goal of Perspectives Adult Day Center to enable people to continue to reside in a community setting and to support families as active caregivers. Senior Services also provides opportunities for recreating, socializing and counseling at seven senior centers, located in Delta and Menominee Counties. The mission of each of the Senior Centers is to provide a facility where older persons can come together for services and activities that enhance their dignity, support their independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community.
Educational activities are also available.
In the past year, more than 8,000 seniors registered for services through these centers. Additionally, the Senior Services programs also provided transportation in Menominee County. This service provided over 7,000 rides to 250 seniors last year. In 1999, this food package was instrumental in stretching the limited funds of 1,800 seniors on a fixed income. In addition, others besides seniors may be eligible for the benefit of the Commodity Supplemental Food Program.
