We are looking for Pet Therapy Volunteers that would enjoy bringing happiness and comfort to our participants. Therapy dogs can stimulate social interaction and ease agitation in dementia patients. But it takes specially trained pets to bring the full benefit of animal therapy. Volunteer hours are flexible.

Mission Statement

To support caregivers and their loved ones By providing kind, safe and reliable day services For adults who would benefit from a compassionate environment, Meaningful programs and opportunities for socialization

Description

Forster Woods Adult Day Center is a professionally supervised day program serving the elderly and other adults with physical or mental impairments. We provide a structured day program that includes meaningful social, cognitive, creative, and sensory activities in a warm, caring and secure environment. The program is individualized for each person based on the participant’s individual plan of care.

Independence, self expression and being part of a group help adults who may be isolated by illness, disability or loss maintain a positive orientation to life. By focusing on maintenance of physical and mental health, Forster Woods enables the participant to maintain as high a level of functioning as possible, thereby allowing them to remain in their homes and communities.

We at Forster Woods understand that caring for a loved one with a debilitating disease such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, or Parkinson’s Disease requires constant attention and supervision and can be exhausting. Using Forster Woods to supplement the care they give at home offers caregivers an opportunity for rest, employment, running errands and pursuing their own interests.
