GULF SHORES, AL — The seniors and volunteers at DayBreak Senior Daycare celebrated the Christmas season in style.

There was music, singing, holiday food, and joy all around at the annual DayBreak Christmas Party. Everyone had a great time.

DayBreak Senior Daycare provides a secure, loving environment where individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia are encouraged to participate in playing games, craft projects, singing, exercising and social interaction.

The senior daycare provides participants’ fulltime caregiver with short term relief from the unrelenting demands of care giving by providing time out to grocery shop, attend support groups, or visit friends and family.

All DayBreak Senior Daycare participants must be pre-registered. The program is not designed to provide medical or counseling services but to provide support for the caregivers and their loved ones. It is offered every Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and is located in Building B on the South Campus of Gulf Shores United Methodist Church.

Cost is $20 per visit and includes a hot lunch. Those interested in learning about becoming a part of DayBreak as a volunteer, a participant, or a benefactor should contact Dolly Crewes at 251-968-3634 (dollycrewes@gmail.com) Amelia Fletcher at 251-968-2549 (amelia@gulfshoresumc.org).
