Dementia care center plans closure
HOUSTON – BakerRipley announced that it will close its long-time southwest Houston dementia day center in late October due to funding issues.
The BakerRipley Dementia Day Center, formerly known as Sheltering Arms Senior Services, was established in 1987 as the first dementia-specific adult day center in Houston.
On its website, the non-profit touts the center as the only one “in the Greater Houston area accepting individuals from early to moderate-late dementia”.
David Haines II, BakerRipley’s chief strategy and innovation officer said the closure is the result of a 20% decrease in funding in the last two to three years.
