I am a caregiver, and need to occupy my elderly father throughout the day. How do I know whether Dayscape is the place for him?
A. Dayscape is the place for your father if he is physically or cognitively challenged but does not require 24-hour supervision. Perhaps he has safety issues when left alone, or he is a senior who can no longer structure his own daily activities. If he would benefit from the friendship and functional assistance and has extended daily periods of isolation and misses being around others, then bring him to spend the day with us.
