Field Trip to Access Care Adult Daycare
On Tuesday, October 7th, everyone was able to take a field trip to visit an adult daycare center in Louisville. Access Care is a locally owned adult daycare that provides patient care, nutrition, and activities to older adults. Many of Access Care's clients are Russian and Bhutanese refugees, several of who are former clients of the Louisville Refugee Elder Program. Clients of the Louisville Refugee Elder Program were invited to attend Access Care and see what services the facility offered.
A presentation was provided to Louisville Refugee Elder Program clients about Access Care and the services they offer.

All of the clients of the Louisville Refugee Elder Program were given a brief presentation of how Access Care operates, and then the faculty gave everyone a tour of the facility. Following the tour, everyone was provided with snacks and entertainment.

Jolyana and Nejmah Clair pose with one of the faculty from Access Care.

The saxophone player provided by Access Care entertained everyone during snack.
Everyone had a great time on the field trip, and learned a little more about the available resources within the Louisville community.
