"My Mom loves going to Open Circle and I love having a wonderful place for her to go. She has learned new things, made friends and is living her best life. Her memory scores have improved since starting and are now stable. This is due to the kindness and care of the staff and all the wonderful activities members are engaged in. She has taken a jewelry making class, a photography class and sings in the choir. Since starting several years ago, her life is so much more vibrant and fulfilling."

"My sister with Alzheimer’s attended Open Circle for two years. She loved it there and I was happy because every single one of the staff are the best! The quality of care really made a difference to my sister, she loved the care and respect. The many activities, the food, the fun, the outings and the choir were great. We already miss our friends at Open Circle."

"I am grateful every day that my husband goes to Open Circle. He always comes home happy. When attending the Open Circle choir concert event, I noticed him nodding to certain members and he even brought ice-cream to another member in a wheelchair. It is a joy for me to see how comfortable he is there. The day OC came into our lives was a mitzvah and blessing for both of us. To have Open Circle available is a God send."
–Dolly B.
"I want to recognize what an amazing resource Open Circle provides to caregivers and families. They are exceptional! I’ve never seen anything that compares to the services they provide, in terms of patience, respect and thoughtful approach to individuals with cognitive impairment. I appreciate all your kindness and care of my husband."
–Laurel K
"My mom loved Open Circle. I always loved dropping her off “at school” (as she called it) and picking her up and the big smile she always had when she came down the hall at the end of the day. She loved the music and always let me know when accordion player was scheduled. My only regret is that she dreamed of sitting at the “men’s lunch table” and busting up the men with some female company! Guess another lady will have to go for it?"
