Alzheimer'S Care Center Adult Day Services

The Alzheimer's Care Center in Gardiner, Maine, is a specialized assisted living home dedicated to providing care for individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Established in 1988, it was the first facility of its kind in the United States designed and staffed specifically for the unique needs of people with dementia and has since served as a model for similar homes worldwide. The center is situated in a private, wooded area, offering a secure and homelike environment. Attached to the residential home is the Adult Day Services program, known as "the Club," which offers a stimulating and supportive environment for individuals with dementia who live at home. This program allows caregivers to work, rest, or attend to other responsibilities with the peace of mind that their loved ones are in a safe and engaging setting. The facility is operated by MaineGeneral Health and is a United Way agency. It serves the southern Kennebec County area. The staff at the Alzheimer's Care Center are described as gifted, flexible, and compassionate, taking the time to learn each individual's background, personality, and interests to create a comfortable environment. They emphasize creating personalized care plans in collaboration with families, who are considered an important part of the center's family atmosphere. In addition to the adult day program, the center also provides residential care with 24-hour support. The facility also hosts a monthly caregiver support group in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, providing a space for caregivers and family members to develop a support system and learn about community resources.
