Friendship, Love, Laughter, Respect, Dignity
These are just a few of the rewards waiting for older adults who participate in the Adult Day Center at The Julia Ruth House in Westwood, MA day by day.
People of all ages must remain active mentally and physically to ensure quality of life. At The Julia Ruth House, our mission is to promote the dignity and well-being of each individual, and to help people live richer, fuller lives.
Our Westwood senior day program is designed to meet the educational, physical, social, and personal needs of each participant. We honor the dignity of our guests by recognizing their individual needs and offer a wide range of services to meet those needs.
We provide guests with a stimulating learning experience in a spacious, safe, non-institutional environment. The ambiance and warmth of this lovely, historic home boasts large rooms filled with many antiques and fireplaces. This wonderful setting promises to make each guest feel like they are visiting a fine inn each day, with all the comforts of home, in the company of their peers. At the same time they will learn to adjust to the aging process and their loss of certain life skills.
Our activities range from exercise, gardening, and reading to music appreciation, movies, and field trips. We offer choices and flexibility, tailoring our programs to the talents and interests of our guests. We are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We offer breakfast, lunch, and high tea in the afternoon.
