Looking for resources to find day care for LO with EO who is not a senior.  Could be in-home or at an adult program.  Any advice?

    I am also in MN but don't know resources in the metro very well. I would contact the local chapter of the Alzheimers Association. They should be able to give you info on day programs and other local resources for EO.

    My mother was about 70 when she started her adult daycare, but she looked much younger and was very physically active. The initial adjustment was rough but eventually she settled in. They did have a few younger people in their 50s with EO mixed in the group. They often didn't do the same activities as the older folks, the staff adapted and found other things for them to do. Good luck with your search.
