Silver Care Dementia Center, Inc. was founded on the need for respite care to be available for those involved in caring for people living with dementia because of the 24 hour/7 days a week burden placed on caregivers. Particular attention is given to those who cannot easily afford respite care and SCDC intends to promote a safe, stimulating social environment to people living with dementia in a pleasant, non-threatening, non-institutional setting.
Our Mission
Silver Care Dementia Center, Inc supports people living with dementia by enhancing their dignity of life in a safe social environment while providing relief and education for their caregivers.
Our Values
Our Vision
Our vision is to impact the community by improving dementia caregivers outcomes, increasing the respite options available to families and reducing economic impact.
