Are you caring for someone with dementia? The Outer Banks Dementia Friendly Coalition and Dare County Department of Health & Human Services has a service that can help.

“Caregivers’ Day Out” offers hands-on activities for seniors with dementia using a unique combination of themes, music, games, exercise and snacks. Additionally, it offers primary caregiver support with a time to recharge. There is no charge for this program.

Trained volunteers host these events and facilitate the activities. Drop-off is every Monday between 9:30 and 10 a.m. at the Dare County Parks and Recreation Youth Center in Kill Devil Hills (602 Mustian Street). An application must be completed before the program begins and pickup is no later than 1 p.m.

For more information about Caregivers’ Day Out, contact program director Dianne Denny at obxdfc@gmail.com or 252-489-9508.
