Bon Vivant
Club, Since 2001
Bon Vivant Club has provided
fresh and innovative daytime programming for older adults and their
care giving families.
Adults are living much longer than ever
before. In many ways a “new” generation has developed (75 to 100
years old). There are few programs that focus on this age
group.
At Bon Vivant, our goal is to provide a program that
keeps purpose in the daily lives of our elderly and to support
families that manage the care of their loved ones inside the
home.
|
We invite you to stop by for a tour of “The
Club”. Learn more about our services, talk with the “members”. See
first hand how our program encourages well being for the individual
and their caregivers!
Our elderly are still a very vital part
of society. They need not sit and wait for everyone else to live a
life around them. As Oliver Wendel Holmes so eloquently wrote: “WE
DO NOT QUIT PLAYING BECAUSE WE GROW OLD; WE GROW OLD BECAUSE WE QUIT
PLAYING.” At Bon Vivant Adult Day Club, fun is a priority and a
great start to feeling better TODAY!

Testimonials
"Having a parent with Alzheimers
can be quite a challenge." "Since my mother has been attending Bon
Vivant not only has it given her a much better quality of life, it
has also given the family peace of mind." "Bon Vivant is such a
fantastic alternative to a nursing home!" "She may not always
remember what she did the day, but she knows she had a good day.
Guess you could say she truly lives in the moment." "It is so
wonderful to see her proud of herself for some accomplishment of the
day. She feels useful and needed again. Everyone young and old needs
to feel needed." "Bon Vivant has given my mother a meaningful life,
she does not just exist until her time here is up."
— Janet,
Daughter of Doris, Member
"My dad came to
live with me a few months ago-quite unexpectedly-and still out of
the question to him." "After the first week with him I realized that
we could not be together "24/7". "One visit at Bon Vivant was all I
needed to make my decision." "This is the place for my dad. At my
house all he thinks about and all he wants to talk about is going
home. When he enters the door at Bon Vivant, He becomes a different
person. He's not lonely anymore." "I feel good about leaving him
there and I can go my way for the next six hours and do the things I
need and want to do. I thank God for Bon Vivant!"
— Claudine,
Daughter of Claude, Member
"I hear, in the lilt of her
voice and the enthusiasm with which she discusses the club and club
activities, how happy she is. and I have been amazed that in less
than a month , she is remembering things, even details, that seemed
beyond her...for some time." "Before she joined Bon Vivant, Mom was
depressed and lonely. She seemed to have lost interest in doing much
of anything." "During the past year it was getting harder to engage
Mon in conversation; she could not remember much of what she had
done or eaten recently, and she constantly berated herself as being
"stupid" because she was so forgetful." "She no longer sounds
depressed when I talk to her now; in fact she sounds in great
spirits, and once again has taken an interest in life." "I am
especially grateful that through the Club my Mom has gotten back her
self-respect and self-esteem."
— Jeanne, Daughter of Rita,
Member
"You have given back what I thought was lost: Her
self-esteem, her laughter, something positive to talk about, her
feeling happy & safe & loved. Before joining the club she
spent her days at home alone & she was sad &
lonely."
— Annette, daughter of Rita, Member
"We,
and the doctors that have cared for Mom (after her stroke),
attribute a large portion of her wonderful recover to the staff and
environment at Bon Vivant." "She has made some lasting friendships,
people who are just like her, people she has something in common
with."
— John, Son-in-law of Catherine, Member
"I
really enjoy coming here. I have friends, have something to do with
my time, and I don't feel like such a burden to my family'
