A temporary and free adult day care for former Lutz Center clients and others will open Thursday and Friday at a Penn Valley church.
The day care will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Penn Valley Seventh Day Adventist Church, 17645 Penn Valley Drive.
It will be open for the same period for a few Thursdays and Fridays after that to see what the need is and if the church wants to go further with it, according to Chris Holland.
“It’s a stop-gap measure,” said Holland, one of four people formerly associated with the Lutz Center who are trying to create a new facility. “We can have a temporary, unlicensed program as long as we don’t charge a fee.”
The program will be social, not medical, and will include music, games, activities and a lunch, Holland said. Volunteers will staff the situation until a more permanent solution can be found.
“We’re trying to find some way to bridge the gap and this church is willing to help us, said Colleen Bond, one of the four members of the Community Organization for Dependent Adults.
The group is trying to create a non-profit for a social day care that will be cheaper to run than one that includes medical care like the Lutz Center did, said Bond, who was the program manager there when it closed Dec. 7.
