Fundraising Event: Step Out & Care Walk/Run

Sunday, September 14, 2025 @ 1 – 3pm around Lake Estes

Estes Park Dementia Day Center

Welcome to a safe, respectful, and engaging place for people in the early to middle stages of Dementia. Our participants spend time with trained caregivers providing respite to family & caregivers.

THE FIRST DEMENTIA DAY CENTER IN ESTES PARK IS OPENING EARLY 2026!

Vision

To foster a culture of care and support in Estes Valley, for adults with dementia and their caregivers.

Mission

To serve local adults with dementia through a safe, caring and enriching day program while offering caregivers essential time for respite.

Values

Compassion, Dignity, Safety and Joy.

WHEN?

We are planning to open early 2026. The EDDC will have half day and full day options multiple days a week. Steps we are taking to get there include:

- Attracting Donations

- Securing a Location

- Hiring Staff & Volunteers

WHY?

There is no day center in town that supports local residents with local care in the Estes Valley for those impacted by dementia. We want to change that. Studies show that someone living with dementia are happier when they are active, engaged and connected through activities, music, and social engagement. Caregivers who have time off find they are healthier while caring for their loved one.

HOW?

How will we see the Center come into fruition? This can only happen with community support in funding, publicity, grant writing, staffing, renovations, future board members, etc. Please consider contributing in small or big ways. This will benefit many in our community for years to come.

Events coming soon!

Stay tuned for upcoming fundraising events for the EDDC! Our new Center will be the first in Estes Park for adults with dementia, giving respite
