House of Welcome Adult Day Program
Helping you navigate memory loss
Caring for someone with memory loss can be overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. At House of Welcome (HOW), we provide compassionate, person-centered care in a warm, home-like setting that feels safe, engaging, and welcoming.
Creative Connection & Care
Our Day Program offers small-group, therapeutic activities designed to enrich each participant’s day. Participants build meaningful friendships and experience a sense of purpose through stimulating, guided experiences. A special highlight of our program is creative arts therapies, which provides people with memory loss a meaningful way to express themselves, connect with others, and engage their minds. Through music, art, movement, and storytelling, individuals can experience joy, reduce anxiety, and tap into memories and emotions that may be difficult to access with words alone. Exercise is also part of every day. Click here to watch a video that shows a typical day at House of Welcome.
Tailored Support for Caregivers
We know caregivers are essential partners in this journey. That’s why we offer a robust Caregiver Support Program tailored to meet your family’s specific needs. Whether you’re looking for respite care (a break from caregiving responsibilities while your loved one is cared for), local resources, or one-on-one guidance, we’re here to support you.
Even if you’re unsure whether our Day Program is the right fit, we’re happy to talk it through with you. We are here to listen, answer your questions, and help guide you to the best possible support—whether it’s with us or elsewhere.

What Families Are Saying
Participants tell us how much it means to them to be part of a group where they are respected and valued and to be involved in activities that give meaning to their lives. Family members echo these sentiments and also tell us that it brings them peace of mind.
The only time I don’t worry about my husband is when he is at the Day Program. – Spouse of HOW Day Program participant
Today is the most fun I’ve had in a long time. – Day Program Participant
I like the variety of activities each day and that they are written on the white board. That gives me some talking points with my wife because she does not always remember what she did during the day. She really looks forward to gardening activities and the dog visits! Thank you for the program. It is good for my wife and me. – Spouse of HOW Day Program participant
