Creating a Better Day!
Pleasantries Adult Day Services in
Marlborough, MA creates a better day.
We provide a home-based, Social
Model Adult Day Care Program
specifically to serve the memory
impaired community. Our guests are
over the age of 60, may live alone, or
with family. They may have
Alzheimer's disease or other dementia.
In every case, guests and caregivers
find a better day with Pleasantries. In
the morning, our guests are greeted
with a warm welcome to “Tammy’s
house,” offered a seat at the kitchen
table amongst other friends, and share
in conversation while enjoying a cup of
coffee or tea and delicious breakfast.
Every prospective guest of
Pleasantries can
experience a free trial
day.
Now is the time for your loved one’s
free trial day at Pleasantries. Isolation
and depression can progress the
disease process, while socialization can
slow that progression down. Please
contact Pleasantries today. Call and
schedule your visit. 508-481-0809.
