The UCMJ Adult Day Activity Center

The UCMJ Adult Day Activity Center is a weekday day program in Memphis for aging and mildly disabled adults aged 55 and older. It was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran, and its program draws on military values: participants are grouped into Air, Land and Sea divisions, and many activities are veteran-themed, though the center describes itself as a community for all aging and retired adults. The center lists exercise, games, arts and crafts, music and dance therapy, Oculus (virtual reality) therapy, meals, entertainment and counseling. It is licensed in Tennessee as an adult day services program.

The center's activity list includes chair yoga, tai chi, music therapy, art for relaxation, pet therapy, trivia and brain games, story circles and creative writing, card and board games, gardening, technology help and community guest speakers. Nutritious meals are served, and the site also mentions counseling, community outings and birthday and holiday celebrations. Amenities include a game room, auditorium, exercise room, arts and crafts room, an Oculus therapy room and computer stations.

The center is at 6089 Apple Tree Dr, Memphis, TN 38115, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with special hours available on request. The website lists a standard rate of $120 per day with a minimum commitment of two days, and says insurance, Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted at this time. To enroll, families take a tour, complete an online application and paperwork, and schedule an admission assessment. Call (901) 779-8849 to arrange a tour.
