Side by Side is a pastoral care and community outreach program for families living with
dementia.
Side by Side
The format is similar to a day program where people living with dementia take part in encouraging fellowship in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. Enthusiastic and caring volunteers walk alongside participants as friends and neighbours. Care partners may also share in all or part of the day, or may take the opportunity for personal time.
Side by Side runs from 9:45 a.m. until 2:15 p.m. every Wednesday. Each week includes spiritual nurture through a time of devotion, conversational times over refreshments, and stimulation through music, puzzles, games, creative activities, and Brain Gym ® . Lunch is also provided. As a child of God, each participant is affirmed, valued and cared for with dignity and respect.
