Skagit Adult Day Program - Gentry House
1208 7th Street
Anacortes WA 98221

Dementia is a brain disease that affects one of of five families in drastic and devastating ways. Left with few choices, the caregiver, often a spouse or adult child, must take over the exhausting task of tending to the needs of someone whose brain is dying. Skagit Adult Day Program offers a unique combination of support for the caregiver and a supervised day program where special needs adults can participate in a supportive group setting amongst peers. Before our program began, caregivers had two options: Keep their loved ones home as long as possible with the help of family, friends and paid home nursing care, or, permanent placement in a full-care facility. SADP offers a third option: One that provides respite and support to the caregiver which enables them to keep their loved one at home longer, sometimes until the final days of their life. We charge an hourly rate of $12.50 for our day program, $5.00 for a home cooked lunch and $30.00 for a private bathing session. Clients can attend for as many hours a day and as many days a week as their family chooses. The Gentry House, named after Executive Director Nancy Gentry, is located at 1208 7th Street in Anacortes across from Causland park. Its home-like setting offers a special charm. Due to its smaller size, the program offers a unique client experience: staff cook fresh home-made meals daily and children from a nearby Montessori school visit weekly.
