After my mother died, my father was really at a l loss for what to do each day. Winter Growth's day program was a perfect fit. The activities are designed with his interests in mind. He was no longer sitting at home wondering what to do and ending up in front of the TV all day. It is more affordable than hiring a person to be with him at home AND he experiences many more things than if he was with just one person all day. There are exercises, games, field trips, small groups, musical performers, animals, and peer interactions - instant connection. Over time it made sense for him to stay at Winter Growth as a resident and we were lucky there was an open room. Now when I visit, I can be with him and not worry about medication, laundry, meals, bills, or transportation. It allows me to be a daughter and not a caregiver. Winter Growth is truly a gem.
