In this day and age many families are often spread throughout the country.
Sometimes, the only times grandchildren get to see their grandparents are on
major holidays and at times, because of the high cost of travel, not even then. With
the dispersion of the extended family, Seniors can feel isolated and alone. This isolation can
make our Seniors more prone to depression and cognitive and physical decline. Perhaps no
other age group feels the keen sting of loneliness more than the elderly. Our aging population
who find themselves isolated can develop behaviors that make it hard for them to function in
a typical social environment. At times these behaviors are considered unacceptable to others
as the Seniors tend to lose their social manners.
Today's working generation is so busy with business obligations, family
responsibilities to their own children, engagement in electronic social media
that even Seniors residing with them do not have many opportunities to interact
with their family members and may even feel pushed aside. A way to alleviate these
issues is for a Senior to have regularly scheduled activities they can share with their peers.
Some Seniors may not be independent enough to seek out and enjoy that type of interaction
on their own. This is exactly why Open Arms Adult Day Club is here. We offer
Seniors the socialization they may be lacking.
We offer many cognitive and physical age appropriate activities throughout
the day including the opportunity to have a cup of coffee or "do lunch" with
their friends at Open Arms. We provide intergenerational activities with children from
our local school and daycare center. Our Open Arms Adult Day Club staff encourages seniors
to talk about themselves and their interests. This allows them to regain or grow their sense
of self-worth. Open Arms is here to give Seniors a place to "belong" and build relationships.
Take a proactive step and sign up your loved one at Open Arms Adult Day Club
today. We are conveniently located in Lebanon in the Lebanon Reformed Church at 18b
Maple Street, Lebanon, easily accessible to Route 22 and Interstate Highway 78. Open Arms
is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. For more information or
to come by for a visit contact us at: 908.840.4128.
