Game on at Day-break! 🎲

Have you ever played Uno Trash? We tried it for the first time yesterday, and it was a huge hit! Lots of laughs and friendly competition.

We also celebrated International Top Spinning Day on Wednesday, and what a trip down memory lane! Every Friend in attendance had fond memories of playing with tops as children, and the room buzzed with excitement as we competed to see whose top could spin the longest.

Some of our Friends prefer to keep their photos off social media, but we can tell you this: one of our Friends is Olympic-level material, and we have the photos to prove it!

Today, Day-break Friends celebrated Dolly Parton since it is 9-25. We decorated the tables with butterflies, listened to Dolly's music, read about her and ate her chocolate pie. The coolest moment of the day, though, was when this real butterfly appeared outside as we were competing in some Dolly trivia. We just had to have a picture of some of our hands with Dolly the butterfly. We will always love you, Dolly!

Thank you RC&D, Senator Andrew Jones, Speaker of the House Nathaniel Ledbetter, Senator Steve Livingston and Representative Ginny Shaver for your support of our dementia respite program!

🧠💜 Today is World Alzheimer's Day 💜🧠

Every September 21st, communities around the globe come together to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia — reducing stigma, promoting understanding, and reminding families they are not alone in this journey.

Here in Alabama, the numbers are significant:
📊 More than 103,600 Alabamians age 65 and older are currently living with Alzheimer's — nearly 12% of our state's seniors.
📊 Alabama has one of the highest Alzheimer's mortality rates in the nation.
📊 Over 217,000 Alabama caregivers provide unpaid care every year — often family members just like you.

At Day-Break Adult Day Services, we see these statistics every day, not as numbers, but as our Friends. Our mission is to provide a safe, engaging, and compassionate place for individuals living with Alzheimer's and dementia — while giving caregivers the respite they need and deserve.

💙 If you or someone you love is navigating this journey, know that support is available right here in our community.
