HOOKED ON FUN! 🐟🐠 Heartland Adult Day Center participants went fishin' for FUN this week... indoors! In a pond full of fin-tastic fish the participants decorated, they hooked 'em with silly sayings and point values on the back. Who reeled in the most points after two rounds? 🎣

Caring for someone living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or Parkinson's disease is an act of love, but it also takes time, energy, and patience. You don't have to do it alone.

The Heartland Adult Day Center provides a welcoming place where participants spend the day engaged in activities, enjoying conversation, and connecting with others while receiving compassionate care. At the same time, caregivers have the opportunity to work, run errands, keep appointments, or simply take care of their own needs with the confidence that their loved one is in good hands.

Supporting a loved one starts with supporting yourself, too. If you'd like to learn more about the Adult Day Center, we'd be happy to answer your questions.

Contact Marisa Nicolaisen at [email protected] or call 515-233-2906 to schedule a visit.
