The E.A.G.L.E. Day Program

The EAGLE day program was established in June of 1999. EAGLE stands for "Enhancing and Accommodating Growth in a quality Living Environment". The program runs daily, seven days a week. Program begins after the breakfast meal and ends at approximately 8:00 p.m.

The treatment program includes a balance of Cognitive, Physical, ADL's, Psychosocial and Self-Expression Components.

Goals Of The E.A.G.L.E. Program
  • Maximize attention span or moment of alertness.
  • Increase feelings of security, comfort, and emotional well-being.
  • Allow release of anxiety, frustration, and agitation.
  • Deal creatively with paradoxes: the need for stimulation versus the problem of overstimulation; the need for predictability versus the value of prompting curious injury through change; the need for social interaction versus the importance of "time out or "one-li-ness"".
  • Maintain maximum levels of self-care and dignity in toileting, grooming, dressing, and interpersonal behavior.
  • Allow individuals to function at an appropriate pace and time schedule.
  • Prevent unnecessary deterioration, suffering, or worry about memory loss through programming and services.
  • Provide residents access to organized worship and/or personally meaningful religious expression.

    • The Day Treatment Room serves a dual function, as it is the program area and the Dining Room for the Erie Cottage. 3 meals are served in the Day Treatment Room, 7 days a week.
