Generations Central Adult Day Center

Where Senior Adults LIVE FULLY every day!

If you were to walk into Generations Central, you would probably be surprised to find the laughter, excitement, and meaningful relationships that exist in the walls of our adult day center. You might find our senior adult participants and friendly team of staff and volunteers building a giant cup tower, playing balloon volleyball, dressing up in fun costumes for our kid neighbors, working a puzzle, arranging fresh flowers, or sitting around sharing pastimes with laughter. Granted, you may also find a few folks taking naps because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t need a nap in the middle of the afternoon? You’d probably also be surprised to find out that most of the older friends that make up our close-knit group are facing the difficult diagnoses of age-related conditions and diseases like dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, or physical decline. Generations Central is a place where senior adults can thrive and find a renewed sense of purpose no matter what challenges they are facing. 

Who We Serve

The participants who attend our adult day program are generally 60 years and older and are facing a condition or diagnosis that makes it unsafe or difficult for them to be left at home. This can range from dementia to a physical disability that requires more assistance to perform activities of daily living. We consider it an honor to be a part of our participants' care team. Utilizing our services allows our participants to stay living in their homes with their family for longer. It also allows their family caregivers to take a break, go to work, and connect with other caregivers.

Our Programs

Adult Day Center

Our daily program currently gives 15 seniors the opportunity to LIVE FULLY every day. Among a group of their peers, they can find their "place" here in our positive and engaging environment.  We provide daily meals and snacks and our certified nursing staff supports our participants in personal care tasks as needed to help them be successful throughout the day. A team of 12 caring volunteers bring our participants opportunities to connect over common interests and fresh energy throughout the day. 

Caregiver Support Group

Providing care to an aging adult is no small task. Caregiver burnout and stress are common factors that lead family caregivers to place their senior in a long-term care facility. By offering a bi-monthly support group, we are equipping caregivers with the tools they need to help their senior age in place.

Stronger Memory 

Keeping the brain healthy begins long before a diagnosis. This community group is for all aging adults looking to keep their brain healthy as they age. Members meet weekly to share their progress on their brain exercises at home. Learn more here: Stronger Memory-Goodwin Living  

Intergenerational Program

Our seniors have regular opportunities to engage with our younger "neighbors" who attend the Culpeper Baptist Child Development Center just one floor above us. These intentionally planned activities help our senior adults to rediscover a sense of purpose and give back to the next generation.

Why Give to Generations Central?

When you give to Generations Central, you help senior adults life every day to the fullest by enriching our activity program and helping us build a sustainable program that will continue to serve our community for years to come. We work hard to ensure that the families who need our services are able to access them despite their financial status. Your donation will increase our ability to remove barriers for the caregivers we serve.
