The Gathering Place Adult Day Center (Brattleboro Area Adult Day Services)

The Gathering Place provides Adult Day services to promote empowerment, independence and quality of life for elders, adults with disabilities and their caregivers. We are dedicated to fostering collaborative community partnerships. The Gathering Place will: -Foster respect, dignity, and a sense of wellbeing for the individual being served. - Respect individual rights, strengths, values, privacy, and preferences, encouraging individuals to direct and participate in their own plan of care and services to the fullest extent. - Promote the individual's optimal level of independence in a community-based setting. - Maintain and, where possible, enhance the individual's present level of functioning as long as possible, preventing or delaying a more restricted life style. - Foster the development and maintenance of social skills and interaction. - Promote support, respite and education services for family members, caregivers, and legal representatives. - Serve as an integral part of the community service network.
