Momentia is a local movement empowering persons with memory loss and their loved ones to remain connected and active in a dementia-friendly community. Senior Services for South Sound and the Brighter Days Adult Day Program are committed to working with a variety of local organizations in Thurston and Mason Counties to create simple, fun and enriching experiences. Each month, several activities are organized so please feel free to join us. Download a current Momentia Activities flyer under Useful Links on this page. Staff is involved in several programs to support people living with dementia and their caregivers, including Alzheimer’s support groups and Momentia activities.
