Welcome to the
CLUB
Riverside Park Adult Day Ministry
We strive to provide care services with the following values:
Dignity and Respect
We believe that in order to provide excellent care, we must treat each participant with the utmost dignity and respect. No matter a participant’s limitations, they are due a dignity that belongs to every human being, and no one will be subject to an action or activity that demeans their personhood or status in the community.
Choice and Independence
In order to avoid a sense of ‘learned helplessness,’ where a participant learns to expect staff caregivers to make their decisions, we encourage our members to make choices about the activities and events our ministry provides. Participants have the autonomy to pursue activities they enjoy and pass up on activities they do not.
Purpose
Life is best lived with a purpose in mind. We provide participants with activities and events that fulfill an overall purpose for their lives and that connect to their past, present, and future. Activities that are just meant to keep participants ‘busy and occupied’ will be eschewed in favor of ones that are meaningful and purposeful.
