CBAS at a Glance

Enriching & Engaging CBAS Program

Members of the Helping Hands for Better Living community gather together daily to participate (on-site and virtually) in our innovative Community Based Adult Services (CBAS) program. In addition to the professional medical, therapeutic and social work services that we provide, our CBAS program includes Daily Activity Connect (a.m.) and Core Activity Connect (p.m.) educational sessions.

Activities Director Mr. Mark and Activity Coordinator Mr. Otto facilitate a fun and interactive program where participants engage daily with their peers and connect with their caregivers, while learning in a life-enriching and educational environment.
