Many elders who could benefit from the programs
offered at MELABEV's day care centers and
memory clubs are unable to attend for various
reasons. Perhaps they have difficulty going
on transport, or they don't like groups, or
they wake up too late in the morning. Some
members of the day care centers deteriorate
and can no longer attend the program. Therefore
MELABEV began a service to bring some of the
specialized activities to them in their own
home. The Nathalie & Isidore Friedman Memory
Center home care program also offers support
services to the caregiving family.
