Alzheimer’s support · Provo, Utah

A safe, joyful day for your loved one with Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect memory — it affects families, daily routines, and quality of life. Aspen Senior Day Center gives seniors a safe, structured, and uplifting place to thrive during the day, while family caregivers get time to rest, work, or recharge.

Keeping loved ones at home longer

A bridge between home and round-the-clock care.

Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, and as it progresses, your loved one needs more support. Many families want to keep loved ones at home as long as possible, but 24-hour supervision is hard to sustain. A day program bridges that gap.

Our day center is designed for clients with Alzheimer’s and memory challenges. A small 4:1 client-to-aide ratio and staff trained in dementia communication help each participant feel known, safe, and included.

Care that feels personal

Every participant is known by name, routine, strengths, and the things that bring them joy.

A thoughtful next step

Day care helps at every stage of Alzheimer’s.

Day care can add support before a crisis, while home is still where your loved one belongs.

  • Wandering or agitation is becoming a safety concern
  • Your loved one spends much of the day alone, withdrawn, or inactive
  • Meals or medications are being missed
  • You need dependable time to work, run errands, or care for your own health

    Aides greet each participant by name and help them settle in at their own pace.

    Reminiscence games, memory exercises, and light physical activity get the day going.

  3. Midday

Support for the whole family

You deserve peace of mind, too.

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is demanding. Many families wait too long to ask for support, until stress turns into burnout. Respite time protects your own health so you can keep caring over the long run.

Our Caregiver Support Groups also give you a place to connect with other families facing Alzheimer’s.
