Affordable
Services
Many of our clients have very few options in selective service
agencies. CLASS works diligently to keep services affordable so
that clients of medium income or less will have access to quality
services.
A
grant from the Georgia State Department of Human Resources provides
30% of the funds needed to implement our programs. The balance
is generated by way of gifts, bequests and community fund-raisers.
Day
Center
Our Center offers a supportive,
structured environment in which participants benefit from socialization,
physical exercise, therapeutic activities, medical monitoring, counseling
and long-term care planning.
Day
Care Services are provided five (5) days per week from 7:45 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. Nutritious meals and snacks are served. Participants
can socialize, participate in therapeutic and physical activities.
Clients also receive health monitoring by a registered nurse, counseling
and case management by a social worker.
Respite
Care
CLASS offers extended
hours from 4:00 p.m. through 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and
some overnight weekend respite care.
Saturday
respite is also available from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Respite
Services maintain a slower pace of activities but still has a strong
treatment orientation.
Support
Groups
The Center provides peer
support, information and education for caregivers and family members
with Alzheimer's Disease and other related disorders.
Group
meetings are held the first and second Tuesday of each month. Meeting
times may vary.
Outreach
Services
CLASS offers a continuum of care, which includes our Outreach
Services. Our Case Manager contacts families who have been referred
and their community supports systems to offer education about Alzheimer's
Disease and the essentials of family survival during this illness.
As appropriate, the Outreach Nurse will also make referrals to CLASS
programs or others. We now have two Social Workers in the Outreach
services.
