_The Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Program offers caregivers assistance in keeping Alzheimer's/Dementia victims in the community for as long as possible. Some of the services offered are a support group, counseling, information & referral, and a respite day program through the Parsons Day Center. 

MAC PARSONS DAY CENTER (formerly known as Riverside Place) is a social day center for individuals with memory impairment problems such as Alzheimer's Disease. There are two major benefits to this program: It provides respite for the caregiver and socialization for the impaired individual. Various activities such as current events, exercise, art, and music comprise a typical day for members.

Major support for the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Program is provided by a grant from the John B. Parsons Foundation and the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore.
