Caregivers' Day Out

The Caregivers' Day Out program is held every Monday from 9:30am until 1:00pm at the Parks and Rec Center in Kill Devil Hills. In a secure social setting, we engage your loved one that is living with dementia with activities including exercise, music, crafts/activities and presentations from local organizations. This gives you, the caregiver the time to go and recharge, have coffee with a friend, walk on the beach, go to a doctor's appointment. This is the time for the caregiver to take care of themselves while we engage our participants in meaningful, purposeful activities!

Memory Books

We are creating Memory Books where the participants will document the memories they are creating each week.
