I enjoyed this simulation. Please continue to teach everyone worldwide. Maybe their world will change. (speaking of the senior population and the challenges they face)

Cheryl A., Aloha Day Club Volunteer
“I wanted to come today to finish the Valentine project that I made to put the flowers in to give my bride. My wife is my driver and she is always there when I want to buy anything for her. This was my way of giving her something exclusively from me.”

Al, Aloha Day Club Participant
“I have a 91-year-old mother with Alzheimer’s in an assisted living facility near our home. I also have a 78-year-old husband who has been diagnosed with Frontal, Temporal Dementia and still lives at home. I have been attending a support group which I enjoy very much. It is a chance to get away and to spend time with people who can actually carry on a conversation. I look forward to the day.”

Shirley C., Family Caregiver
“Thanks A LOT” for everything that the Aloha Team does for Dad & for all the other very fortunate older adults who attend various Aloha To Aging sessions/meetings. They all “really appreciate it” and we-the families-do too!! May all of you fell Gods love for each of you every day!”

Maxine, Aloha Day Club Participant
“My dad lights up and gets excited when he hears it’s time to go to Aloha Day Club. You’re a blessing and we thank you. You’re a part of a greater, grander purpose.”

Kris W., Family Caregiver
If we could choose anyone in the world to provide respite care for older loved ones (including those with dementia or early Alzheimer’s), it would be Dawn Reed. We have worked as volunteers for Dawn for 6 years. She develops daily programs which stimulate and entertain participants in her programs. She combines professional knowledge and management skills with kindness and compassion. She is the best.
