Skagit Adult Day Care, also called Skagit Adult Day Program, sits at 116 N Skagit St in Burlington, Washington, and operates out of the Bradford House. This local non-profit runs adult day services in Burlington and Anacortes, focusing on seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia. The team includes a Community Education and Site Director, and you'll find caregivers and employees with experience in dementia care. The setting feels safe and friendly, which helps adults live with dignity and independence, while staying socially engaged and mentally active through group activities and daily routines.
Every morning starts off with homemade cookies and a choice of coffee, tea, or cocoa, and the days include group lunches at noon, music hours, and games like bingo, trivia, and current events discussions to keep minds active. There are simple ball games and chair seated exercises, plus sessions for reminiscing and listening to music, so people can interact with each other and not feel alone. Music & Memories events bring music themed activities that can spark memories and lift spirits, and special events like A Night at the Movies give everyone something different to look forward to. The staff supervises all activities to help make sure everyone is cared for safely, which is important for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
For family caregivers, Skagit Adult Day Care offers extra help with support groups, Lunch & Learn programs, and Powerful Tools for Caregivers, so families can get a break and learn how to manage care. Programs like these give both seniors and families a chance to step away from stress for a bit. Therapies such as physical and occupational sessions take place, and healthcare services include help with incontinence care. Support comes from local businesses, organizations, and individuals, and funding is secured as the organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with its own EIN.
The Skagit Adult Day Care website shows photos and videos from their activities and events, letting anyone see the kinds of things that happen there, from music hours to seasonal gatherings. The day program creates an environment where adults with memory loss can socialize, enjoy meals together, and take comfort in routines, and where caregivers can find resources to help with long-term care at home or just get a needed respite, so both participants and families feel supported and connected to their community.
