Alzheimer’s Daycare Services (CAPS)
The Community Assistance Program for Seniors (CAPS) is an Alzheimer’s daycare center that provides socialization and stimulation for persons living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and stroke. Our day program helps seniors stay mentally, physically, and socially active. In turn, this helps maintain their independence and well-being. Family caregivers benefit from the respite, support, and consultation available. CAPS - Pasadena is designated as an Alzheimer’s Day Care and Resource Center (ADCRC) by the California Department of Aging.
