Anna Maria Adult Day Program at the Orange Senior Center The Orange Senior Center has partnered with Anna Maria of Aurora to operate the Adult Day Program.
The Adult Day program offers participants a fun and enriching outing while in a
safe supervised environment. Family members are afforded a break from care-
giving responsibilities knowing their loved ones are enjoying themselves and are
being well cared for.
The program may particularly benefit persons with early memory impairment,
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or other physical or mental limitations. It is also perfect
for those needing supervised socialization opportunities.
Monday to Friday from 9:00am - 5:00pm
For further details, please contact Meredith Vachon at 440-591-3887
