Something new is taking root at Via! 🌱 Thanks to the generous support of the Creel-Harison Foundation, we’re almost ready to start planting for our new adult day program: Blossoming Minds. This gardening program is all about empowering and enriching the lives of individuals with Alzheimer’s and related dementias—through connection, hands-on learning, and the simple joy of growing something beautiful.

Here’s the best part: the fruits and vegetables grown in our garden by our members will be used to create our daily meals, inspired by the Mind Diet. Fresh, nutritious, and straight from the garden—grown with purpose and care.

Big shoutout to Jacobs Land Management and Campbell Vaughn for helping us bring this garden to life. We can’t wait to watch it bloom and see the impact it makes in our community!

Big changes this week at Via Cognitive Health! On Tuesday, June 24, we celebrated the retirement of our wonderful Volunteer Coordinator, Margaret Kopp. Margaret is off to spend more time with her family and travel the world with her husband — and honestly, she’s earned every minute of it. Margaret’s passion and energy helped expand Via’s volunteer program in ways we’ll feel for years to come. Thank you, Margaret, for everything. You’ll be missed more than you know.

We’re also thrilled to welcome back a familiar face: Erin Denmark, a former Program Lead, is returning as our new Volunteer Coordinator! Erin’s warmth, leadership, and commitment to our mission make her the perfect person to carry Margaret’s legacy forward. Please join us in congratulating Erin and wishing her the best as she takes the reins!

Here’s to new adventures for Margaret, and an exciting new chapter for Erin and all of us at Via.

Day Support for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or related dementias with the Jud C. Hickey Center

What is Adult Day Care? It is a structured comprehensive program that abides by government standards and provides a variety of health, social and related support services in a protective, homelike environment. The center’s clients participate on a pre-scheduled basis as walk-in clients cannot be accepted. The Center staff includes Registered Nurses (RNs), Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), and specially trained volunteers. Consultants are available to provide services as needed in order to supplement professional staff and enhance the quality of the program. Who is eligible for Adult Day Care? Candidates must be diagnosed by a physician as having Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. In addition, an assessment by the center’s nursing staff is required prior to enrollment to determine the level of participation of which they are capable. Ideal candidates are individuals who have good general health and mobility and are able to perform activities of daily living with little to moderate supervision. How does the Jud C. Hickey Center help caregivers? The Adult Day Center and In-home Respite Care Program provide caregivers with a much needed break from the daily responsibilities of direct care. These services allow caregivers to: Rest assured that their loved one is engaged and active with friends at the Center.

Continue to work outside the home.

Delay placement in a nursing home for as long as possible.

Schedule appointments, run errands, or simply have “personal time.”
