For Clarity Care clients in the non-profit’s day services, a simple game of UNO can mean so much more. It’s a chance for them to connect and build community with other adults like them.
“Sometimes people, they just seem a little lost, or like they don’t fit in,” Karen Jarrett, a client with Clarity Care, says. “Here everybody fits in, and we always have a ball.”
Day Service at Clarity Care offers a variety of activities, from movie days to beach field trips. The program runs every weekday.
“It’s important for them to be able to talk to each other and build those relationships,” Amy De Lonay, leader of the Day Services program, says.
