Elderwise offers a multifaceted inclusive curriculum that builds on participants' strengths and capabilities. The curriculum attends to the social, physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual needs of individuals with an emphasis on wholeness, dignity, reverence, and respect for elders.

The Elderwise Program fills a crucial gap in local senior services by providing meaningful activity in a warm, intimate, and inviting environment for elders. Elderwise serves a broad range of seniors who are seeking community due to personal loss and/or physical or cognitive changes. These losses often keep elders from the social, creative, and intellectual activities that we all need.

Elderwise is a progressive program that is becoming a model for the delivery of thoughtful and artistic services for older adults.

Our program consists of enriching discussions and various forms of movement, exercise, relaxation, art, and music. A warm, freshly prepared, organic and nutritious meal is shared and enjoyed by staff and participants together.

The Elderwise Adult Day Center is centrally located in the Capital Hill neighborhood of Seattle. We are open Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm with a maximum of eight participants each day. Our 1 to 4 ratio allows for careful attention to the safety and comfort of each participant. The cost to attend is $65 per day.

We assist participants in obtaining transportation and our facilities are wheelchair accessible. People of all races and religions are celebrated. Elderwise is a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization.
