Creating a Better Day!
In the morning, our guests are
greeted with a warm welcome to
“Tammy’s house,” offered a seat at
the kitchen table amongst other
friends, and share in conversation
while enjoying a cup of coffee or
tea and delicious breakfast.
Pleasantries Adult Day Services in
Marlborough, MA creates a better
day. We provide a home-based,
social model day program
specifically to serve the memory
impaired community. Our guests
are over the age of 60, may live
alone, or with family. They may
have Alzheimer’s disease or other
dementia. In every case, guests
and caregivers find a better day
with Pleasantries.
There are many of you in the
community caring for someone
with Alzheimer’s disease or other
memory impairment. Pleasantries
is the right place for someone who
is pretty independent with their
activities of daily living; however
may be facing short term memory
issues. Socialization is a proven
benefit to those with memory
impairment, depression, and
isolation.
We would like to invite you and
your loved one for lunch to tour
and meet our care partners and
guests.
Every prospective guest
of Pleasantries can
experience a free trial
day.

Focus of the month: |
Babies evoke a positive emotional response in most older adults.
When our guests are able to hold a baby, their day is better. The
interaction is priceless. The smiles shared and the sweet baby talk
create a happy environment. We are lucky to have guests whose
grand-children visit us. We have multiple days where children will
visit and interact with our guests. Intergenerational activity is
mutually beneficial. While the children experience diminished fear of
an older adult and enjoy the contact with our guests, the guest
experiences a sense of increased self-worth, and an improved
emotional state. My guests are able to carry the positive emotions
throughout their day.

At the breakfast table, my guest, Ann said, "There are
two animals in the yard." As I looked out, I was
amazed to find two deer grazing. We went out on the
deck and I was able to capture them on camera as they
leaped away. Pretty awesome!
