Help make Day Break’s future possible…
Day Break adult Day Services was established in 1982 to serve persons with dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease and related disorders (ADRD) in a social model adult day setting. In the past, Day Break has expanded its program to meet the increasing needs of those with ADRD in our community and their caregivers. The need to expand again is now. The Day Break building requires additional square footage to serve more individuals and a commercial kitchen.
The Day Break addition will add over 3,000 square feet to the existing building and would add a dining area, commercial grade kitchen, additional restrooms and other amenities. This kitchen expansion will allow our members who enjoy cooking to participate in the food preparation. The research shows that individuals with progressive dementia need to continue to perform learned skills, such as cooking, as this will assist in their retaining those skills for as long as possible. The kitchen will also allow our members to have a voice in what is served.
With the help of the Municipality of Anchorage, Rasmuson Foundation and individual donors we were able to start construction on June 22, 2011. Your financial support is still needed.
Be a part of history and purchase your won square foot for $333. For more information visit our support page, contact the Community Relations Office at (907) 261-5395 or info@acmhs.com.
