Prejudices
-
You have to be 'very old' for such a daycare: Nothing could be further from the truth. Participants sometimes range from 65 to 95 or older. All people are in great need of care at a day care center. This is not so. The need for care can vary widely. You must do everything together with the group and must participate in everything: No, individual activities are also done in small groups, according to the participant's preference. I cannot stand, so I cannot participate in all those activities: The purpose of the daycare is precisely to make activities possible, for example sitting shuffleboard instead of standing with a small board instead of a large one, etc. I don't know anyone at the daycare: Provided you go close to your place of residence, there is a good chance, and sometimes even great, that you will meet people you know from the past.
