Thanks for supporting Juneau’s only adult day program

Thanks to the funding provided, The Bridge is able to offer services that allow seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible, eliminating or delaying the need for institutionalization. The Bridge offers respite for caregivers, giving them the ability to continue working, run errands, and care for themselves while knowing that their loved one is safe in a compassionate and understanding environment. Without the support of the Juneau Community Foundation’s Hope Endowment Grant and CBJ Social Service Grants, The Bridge Adult Day Program would not be able to continue the tradition of providing high quality service to seniors and their families.
