Care for Your Loved Ones. Support for You.
For more than 40 years, the J has provided high-quality programming for seniors and younger adults with cognitive and physical impairments. Our specialized programming aims to promote cognitive, physical and social stimulation, while also encouraging individual growth, in an inclusive and supportive environment.
We offer two unique tracks, IN and Connections, which are expressly designed to help participants achieve individual goals in a group setting. Offering a broad range of activities throughout the day, Connections operates primarily within our center, while IN programming takes place throughout the J’s Staenberg Family Complex and the community.

Connections Program
Meet Rondi, one of many Connections program participants at Adult Day at the J. Rondi has suffered from several strokes, but Adult Day at the J has made an incredible impact on both Rondi and her husband. Now, Rondi can make friends, visit special places, and explore her creativity while her husband supports them through his fulfilling work as a teacher.
CONNECTIONS is a full-day program, which provides social, physical and cognitive stimulation for adults who may require more assistance during the day.
