SAGE Eldercare Receives $3,000 Grant from Investors Foundation

SUMMIT, NJ – SAGE Eldercare recently received a $3,000 grant from the Investors Foundation. The grant will help further SAGE’s Spend-A-Day Adult Day Health Center, which provides seniors with structured social, physical and cognitive activities, meals planned by a registered dietician, and support for participants and families from a geriatric social worker. Spend-A-Day is licensed by the Department of Health and Senior Services as an adult day medical program and is staffed with a full-time nurse to medically supervise the participants. Additional support is provided by physical, occupational and speech therapists. Since 1975, SAGE’s Spend-A-Day Adult Day Health Center has been providing much-needed respite for family and caregivers and a “home away from home” for the participants, in a safe and secure environment.

“We are very grateful to Investors Foundation for their support and generosity, which will benefit the Spend-A-Day program and help older adults remain living in their own homes by giving them a safe and nurturing place to spend the day,” said Angela Sullivan, SAGE’s Executive Director.

Since 1954, SAGE Eldercare has been helping make the communities it serves amazing places to age. The non-profit organization provides a wide array of information, support, and services designed to help individuals lead the most independent and active lives possible.
