Products & Services
SarahCare® is a special program of care developed by DR. Merle Griff, Sarah's founder. SarahCare® offers unparalleled assistance to the client's special needs, but more importantly recognizes the uniqueness of each elder. Beyond helping with the daily tasks of living, SarahCare® seeks to share in the richness of the senior's personal life.It is SarahCare®'s recognition of what the elder can contribute to the life of the center that makes both the elder, his or her family, and SarahCare®'s staff treasure the elder's presence.
Some of the innovative programs include:
- Men's Club - Special activities and bonding experiences for elder men who often feel left out in conventional adult day services programming.
- Memory Corner - Sitting room decorated with antiques and memorabilia. A place for elders to develop a rapport and closeness with their families and share their rich histories. Memory Corner tries to make the past as important as the present and consequently show the elderly how deeply we value them.
