GEM provides a positive and nurturing day environment for adults with memory loss, physical disabilities and those in need of socialization.

GEM participants are welcomed into a safe and inviting atmosphere in which they can socialize, relax and take part in stimulating activities.

Participants are always treated with respect and dignity. Each individual is seen as a special person with a unique personal history. Staff and volunteers take time to get to know each participant.

The daily schedule at GEM includes a wide variety of activities that are specially designed to be cognitively and physically appropriate for our participants. Staff and volunteers gently prompt and encourage to engage participants in the activities. Carefully selected and facilitated activities allow participants to feel success and pride in their accomplishments.

GEM activities are more than fun and stimulating - they are meaningful. Adults with dementia or physical limitations often lose a sense of purpose in their lives. Allowing participants to engage in meaningful activities promotes a more fulfilling life.
