Watertown Social Adult Day Center praised for its welcoming vibe
WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWTI) – ABC 50 stopped by the Watertown Social Adult Center to watch the fun unfold. We spoke to members about the center and the effect it has on them. American Heart Association provides CPR equipment to LaFargeville Central School One of the members, named Barb, said 'It's a nice place to come to socialize and to get out of the house.' She continued, 'Everybody gets to sit around the tables and have breakfast together and have lunch, and they have very good meals.' Another member, Kat, said everyone is welcome. 'It doesn't matter if you're in a wheelchair, use a walker, a cane. Welcome.' She remarked on the importance of the welcoming atmosphere, saying, 'It means a lot to me because, you know, it's a safe place for me to come. It's a place for me to come to be with people I love being around.' One of the newer members, Tony, said he's only been there three weeks and he's 'still catching on,' but he said 'Yes, very much' when asked if he liked it so far. All three members spoke on the activities and games offered at the center which include puzzles, cornhole, Bingo, board games of all kinds, pool, foosball, darts, etc. They talked about being heard, too, commenting that the center allows them to choose as a group what to plan for meals and various group activities. The most important thing, though, is socializing, 'Make great friends here. Make a lot of friends, which is good. And you get to know people here,' said Barb. She said they talk about things in their lives that are important and their lives in general. Watertown City Council narrowly approves budget Watertown Social Adult Center's staff also spoke to us. Staff member Kimberly Welt, when asked why the center is important, said, 'It gets them (members) out of their house. They have a safe place to be. They have each other to talk things over.' Michon Caldwell spoke about how she came to work for the center. Caldwell said she noticed signs outside and thought to check the center out. Caldwell, who has experience as an in-home health aid, believed one of her clients would enjoy the center. Caldwell, turning to Walt, said, 'I met this lovely lady,' who shared information about the activities and meals offered. Concluding by saying the center is for anyone who needs to get out and socialize. NNY BOCES Students Shine at NYS SkillsUSA Championship As for what the community at large should know… Walt said, 'It's, very welcoming. Not only us as employees, but all our members welcome them so much. If they wanna be a part of a good group and have activities and have socialization, which they need, get out of your house, come have some fun. Just come and have fun. These are great people that we work with. Great people!' Caldwell, agreeing with Wal,t said 'everyone needs to get out of their home' & go do something. Adding that 'It doesn't matter what their disease is, what their history is. We take all kinds of people.' $100K grant opportunity for Lewis County's rich history The center is 'a care center that offers a nurturing day care program for the elderly to socialize and connect with others,' according to their website.
