The Westport Council on Aging offers a safe, supportive, and structured environment for seniors who are isolated, suffer from memory or personal loss, recovering from illness, or have physical restrictions because of age-related disabilities. This community care program allows elders to remain in their homes while providing much needed respite for caregivers. These services are provided in a non-medical facility.

Isolation and loneliness can lead to  depression.  Being a member of  the SDP stimulates interaction with other people with similar interests.  Studies show involvement in this type of program slows the progression of dementia.
