It's been very educational for me, and I sense that everyone in the group is gaining from it. The Silver Club is for older adults with advanced memory loss. It meets at the Turner Senior Resource Center in Ann Arbor from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and at the Brown Chapel AME Church in Ypsilanti on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Silver Club offers activities to stimulate memory and promote continued independence, including exercise, music, horticulture, socialization and intergenerational sharing. Participants receive a noon meal and a snack via the Washtenaw County Senior Nutrition Program.
Transportation is available.
The Silver Club Coffeehouse is for older adults with newly diagnosed or early-stage memory loss and dementia. The Coffeehouse offers socialization, group discussion of memory loss issues and coping tactics, exercise and activities. Participants receive a coffee break and a noon meal. Both clubs charge fees on a sliding scale, which are arranged at the initial screening interview. Services include quarterly Silver Club caregiver meetings which offer educational information and support.
