ALPS Adult Day Services provides a homelike setting for adults
who need companionship during the day. Our participants are
adults who are memory impaired, have physical challenges, need
supervision and structure throughout the day, or who just need so-
cialization. Our mission at ALPS is designed around five core princi-
ples: Dignity, Self-Esteem, Independence / Freedom of Choice,
Homelike Environment, and Integrity of the Family.
In the end, it’s not
what you have that matters.

Hospice care is a compassionate, patient-centered approach to care and support for people at the end of life and their families. It is care focused on maintaining dignity, increasing quality of life, and providing comfort, including pain control and symptom management. This is achieved through a team of physicians, nurses, social workers, spirituals care coordinators, nursing assistants, volunteers, and other healthcare professionals that deliver individualized care in the home setting. We specialize in assistance with Ad-vanced Alzheimer’s/Dementia management.

How You Can Help ALPS!
1) We are proud to announce that the new side of ALPS has
been completed and is open. This new side has made it pos-
sible for us to serve 22-24 new families in the Lakeway Area.
We need everyone’s help to get the word out, as well as your
support as we continue to embark on this new journey. Help
us bring the ALPS vision to an ever growing community in
need. Log on to our Facebook page and see how you can
help.
2) Support from the community is needed to raise the
awareness and support with members of the state legislature
regarding the value of adult day services to the communities
served. All state funding is at risk for program participants
who are covered under the TennCare-Choices program.
These monies currently represent 32% of the annual revenue
ALPS receives. Please help spread the word to others in our
community and our elected officials regarding the im-
portance and cost effectiveness of adult day services.
3) We welcome church, scouting, company, and individ-
ual volunteers.
4) We also have a “wish list”, which you can find on our web
site, or we would be happy to mail you a copy. These types of
items are great for schools, churches and any kind of civic
organizations.
What the experts are saying! With the aging of America, those with cognitive challeng-
es are expected to increase by over 40% by 2025, from 5 million to 7.1 million.
Over 33% of seniors die with Alzheimer’s or some other type of dementia.
The Family Caregiver Alliance states that “over 70% of working caregivers suffer work-related difficulties due to their dual caregiving / working roles.”
The increase in mortality rate for people who suffer from caregiving-related stress is 63%.

cognitive and/or physical disabilities and who should not be left alone during the day time. Included are individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke,
Parkinson’s, Down’s syndrome, COPD and other diseases. We serve people from Hamblen, Jefferson,
Grainger, Cocke, Hawkins and Greene Counties. Some attendees come from assisted living communities.
What are your Days and Hours of Operation? How Do I Get There?
Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm Participants can attend any number of days per week
and any number of hours per day. There is no contract. We recommend a minimum of 2 days per week. Many attend 5 days per week because their family member(s) are working and/or because they enjoy the opportunity

and other public transportation is available.

Proud Supporter of ALPS Adult Day Services
Employee of the Trimester Award!
It is my honor to present to you the Employee of the Trimester award, nominated through our new “Act of Kindness” box. While, Tabetha is still very young and new to the ALPS family, her overwhelmingly upbeat personality has made her a great fit with the team. Beyond an employee who is never late, always willing to help out, and goes out of her way to be a team player, she continually goes above the call to make our participants day special. Often out of her own pocket, she will purchase items to give that special something she feels will bring a smile. Tabetha was the overwhelming choice this trimester and here is what some of her nominators had to say about her:
“She does an amazing job making sure the clients are happy and well cared for. She works hard to get the job done, and done right.”
“Brought in a flat iron on hair day to straighten a client’s hair.”
“She brought a client some coconut oil that they had asked for.”
“She sat with a client and reassured her.”
“She brought a big bag of pads for clients when we ran out at the center.”
“She brought in a tiara and a card for a client for her birthday.”
