The Daybreak and Respite Program director is Jenny Lamar. We serve people who are challenged by poor health, physical disabilities, memory loss or confusion. People can spend their days together in a variety of activities designed to maintain or improve physical and mental well-being. Activities include reminiscing and memory stimulation, music, crafts, assistance with daily living skills, community outings, exercise and entertainment. Participation is geared toward individual interests and abilities.
Participants typically experience improved physical strength and overall attitude.
We frequently see remarkable changes in participants' self-esteem, enjoyment and interest in daily life. Caregivers benefit by having a break from the demands of caregiving. Often, Day Break makes it possible for participants to continue living in a home setting for a longer time. Yes, Island Transit's Paratransit is available to eligible people for service to and from home. Please contact Jenny Lamar regarding fee schedule.
