Living Well Adult Day Program at Avita of Brunswick

The Living Well Adult Day Program at Avita of Brunswick lets people living with memory loss spend the day in an Avita memory care community and return home in the evening. Northbridge describes the program as open to the public, with a full calendar of activities, lunch and healthy snacks, and friendships with Avita residents; it also gives family caregivers time to rest. Families sometimes use it as a gradual introduction to the community before a move. Reviews, mostly from families of residents, describe compassionate staff and a caring, joyful atmosphere. It is licensed in Maine as an Adult Day Services Program (Living Well Adult Day Health) for up to 20 participants.

Participants join the community's programming, which Northbridge says is planned by a full-time program team and includes arts and other engagement programs. Lunch and healthy snacks are provided. Avita communities specialize in Alzheimer's and dementia care; ask about daily schedules, personal care and transportation.

The program is at Avita of Brunswick, 89 Admiral Fitch Ave, Brunswick, ME 04011. Google lists the community as open 24 hours, which reflects the residence; call for the day program's hours. Call (207) 729-6222 to speak with a family advisor and arrange a visit.
