How can I get my loved one to agree to attend the center?

Many of our Family Members/Caregivers refer to their loved one as coming to a “social club” or “work”.  Once you bring your loved one here we will take care of getting them comfortable and introduce them to clients of similar interests to make them feel at home.  Once your loved one becomes familiar, they will look forward to attending our center, engaging in activity and seeing their new friends.
