Welcome to Side By Side



Hope Network's Side By Side program provides adult day services and enrichment activities for older adults with age-onset disabilities, such as dementia, Alzheimer's, or other cognitive impairments.  The purpose of this program is to maintain or improve their physical and cognitive skill set, which in turn improves quality of life, and delays nursing home placement.

Recent studies have shown that signs of dementia can occur as early as 50 years of age, with Alzheimer's being the most recognized type.  Can you recognize the Signs of Dementia?
