More Than a Day Center: Creating Connection, Purpose, and Joy at Still Waters

At Still Waters Adult Day Center, we believe aging should be embraced with dignity, joy, and community. Every day, our team walks alongside older adults and their families, offering not just care—but connection, purpose, and the opportunity to thrive.

As the needs of our aging population grow, so too must our response. That’s why Still Waters continues to evolve—offering programs and services that honor the full humanity of every person who walks through our doors. From specialized dementia care and wellness programming to intergenerational storytelling and music therapy, our center is a space where seniors are seen, heard, and celebrated.

This isn’t just about meeting physical needs—it’s about enriching lives.

Wellness That Works

This summer, our seniors moved to the beat with fitness classes designed to help with mobility, strength, and balance. One of our guests, who had become increasingly sedentary, now stays later each day to participate. Her daughter, a physician, told us: “I’ve seen a noticeable difference in her posture, her mood, and her movement since she started this program.”

That’s the kind of change we work toward: one step at a time, one life at a time.

Memory Matters

Memory loss doesn’t have to mean isolation. With support from partners like Arts Midwest and Creative Pathways, our Melodies of Memory program brings joy and spark to our guests through music and storytelling. These sessions help evoke memories, foster expression, and even bridge generations—as local children join in for intergenerational experiences that leave everyone smiling.

Support for Families

We know that caregiving can be both beautiful and exhausting. That’s why Still Waters offers more than just care for your loved one—we offer respite for you. We’re here to be a lifeline, not a last resort. Whether you need a few hours to run errands, work, or rest, we’re here—trusted, trained, and ready to help.

A Place to Belong

Every garden bed we plant, every game of dominoes we play, every story we share—these are moments of meaning. At Still Waters, no one is forgotten. No one is invisible. We are building something bigger than a program. We’re building a community.

If you haven’t visited us yet, we invite you to stop by. Tour our center, meet our staff, and see the difference for yourself. And if your heart is moved by our mission, consider getting involved—through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word.

Together, we can create a world where every senior is valued and every caregiver is supported.
