Peninsula Health Care District Awards Rosener House

On January 26th, the Peninsula Health Care District will hold a public ceremony to celebrate the new crop of organizations receiving grants from them. Peninsula Volunteers Rosener House Adult Day Services is proud to be among them!

Recognizing that 20% or more of Rosener House participants reside in the Peninsula Healthcare District, they decided to support our program for the very first time.

Start Your New Year Right with Alzheimer's Cafe

:

If you've been feeling kind of isolated from friends and fun, since your loved one has been dealing with Alzheimer's or Mild Cognitive Impairment, then you can break out and start living gain! Come and socialize at our Alzheimer's Cafe on Tuesday, January 17th.

The Alzheimer's Café is a place and opportunity that brings together people living with dementia, their families, and their caregivers. It is a warm and inviting atmosphere that nurtures friendship and mutual support.

Based on the work of Dutch psychologists, the Café is a place where everyone can be themselves, share experiences, and learn from one another. There's no agenda, only the opportunity to socialize and enjoy a day out in a creative environment. Feel free to stop in, have coffee and pastries, and become part of this growing movement.

For information, call Julie Scales, Little House Program Manager at (650) 326-2025, ext. 229.

Days and Times: 3rd Tuesday of every month, 2 – 4 PM.
Location:   Little House Activity Center 800 Middle Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025

Cost:   FREE, donations gladly accepted.

You CAN Manage that Chronic Disease

Shakespeare phrased it as "...the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to."

Living longer is living better if we can find the ways to manage what ails us. By the time we're in our 40s we start feeling the pinch of time - not to mention all those accidents and illnesses we laughed off earlier. By our 50s and 60s we accumulate a few "passengers" that won't get off the bus.

So what! These days we can do more for ourselves by learning how to live with chronic diseases.

Little House has teamed with Sequoia Healthcare District to bring you just what you need:

Rosener House Needs YOU!

Rosener House needs volunteer activities assistants. 

• Work with staff to provide music, art, meals and socializing to participants
• 10:30 am -1:00 pm Weekdays
• Performing/ musical talent, guitar, piano etc. helpful
• Spanish speaking volunteers a plus

Rosener House volunteers have a ball! There's more creativity here in the daily activities than you can ever imagine. If you don't have talent, we can use your smile, because you have no idea how far a little personal contact goes!

Call Mary Rached at (650) 322-0129 for more information, or email her at this link.
