The Johnson Adult Day Program is pleased to
offer:
One of the most extensive Daytripping Programs for older adults
with limitations anywhere in the greater Denver
area.
Nearly 200 trips a year depart from JADP, providing unique
opportunities for seniors of varying abilities, and a welcome
respite for their caregivers. Excursions are tailored for full 5
hour daytrips for adults with cognitive impairments and memory
loss. An initial interview is necessary to match daytrippers with
appropriate outings and activity levels to maximize their
daytripping experience!
Complete details, requirements, costs and
descriptions, as well as contact information are available by
viewing or downloading the Daytripping brochure.
Daytrip Manager, Maureen Wells, has a master's
degree in psychiatric nursing and community mental health and is
uniquely qualified to lead the trips and direct an experienced,
skilled daytripping team. She combined her years of daytripping
experience into a book called "Ageless Outings-a guide to 200+ day
trips along the Front Range." The Johnson Adult Day Program
has worked closely with Maureen since 1999, integrating this
program into the quality care JADP provides.

Daytrip Descriptions
Our goal is to offer safe, fun outings for participants who may
have limitations but are still basically
independent. Participants are assigned outings on the days
that best match their abilities. The day activities are arranged
for different levels of mobility.
Wednesdays - Our easiest trips. Good for those
who can manage a short flight of stairs and walk at a reasonable
pace for up to 20 minutes without resting.
Tuesdays - Moderate trips. Appropriate for
those who can climb one or more flights of stairs and walk up to 40
minutes at a reasonable pace without resting.
Thursdays - More difficult trips. Appropriate
for those who can climb two or more flights of stairs of any
steepness and walk up to 60 minutes at a reasonable pace without
resting.
Note: Daytrips fill quickly. There is often a waiting or
substitute list. Attendees who have committed to a regular schedule
of daytrips are guaranteed a spot on their particular day.
Caregivers are responsible for getting participants to the main
departure point - The Johnson Adult Day Program 3444 S.
Emerson St. Englewood, CO 80113 - on-time in order to attend
