Other Information

      To enroll in our program

Both caregivers and participants visit My Friend's Place and meet with the Director in order to understand and become comfortable with the program.  The program is open to the public.

       Meals

Participants should bring a bag lunch with them unless otherwise notified. (Sometimes we enjoy special theme meals!) Drinks and snacks will be provided.

      Transportation

We no longer provide this service.

       Volunteers

Under the supervision of professional staff, our volunteers are caring and concerned individuals who are carefully selected and trained.

 

Fees   

A nominal fee will be charged. How do the costs for Adult Day Services compare to costs for Assisted Living or Nursing Homes? Adult Day Services cost much less, since they provide only the services required by the participant to remain in their home. Information about partial scholarships and sources of financial assistance is available.

       Funding

We are a nonprofit, licensed organization funded by participants' fees, grants and donations, and in-kind support from the First United Methodist Church.

 

The location is made available by the members of the First United Methodist Church.

Facilities are Handicapped Accessible.
