A day that gives Mom or Dad more than just somewhere to be.
Generations is Madison County's first nonprofit intergenerational adult day program for adults living with all forms of dementia and TBI.
Skilled care meets the Arts.
We offer Madison County's first nonprofit intergenerational day program for adults with Dementia and TBI. Through skilled care, the Arts, and sensory engagement, the program provides a nurturing environment that fosters dignity, independence, and community — aiming to preserve participants' abilities and quality of life.
For families, that means hours back in your week. Time to work, rest, run errands, or finally take a deep breath — knowing your loved one is somewhere they're known, cared for, and genuinely happy to be.
What to expect, hour by hour.
Warm welcomes & breakfast
Each participant is greeted by name. A nutritious breakfast and morning vitals start the day on the right note.
Movement & wellness
Gentle exercise, stretching, and mobility work led by our team — adapted for every ability level.
Arts & sensory engagement
Painting, music, gardening, scent therapy, and tactile activities designed around what each participant loves.
Family-style lunch
A hot, balanced meal shared together — because mealtimes are about more than the food.
Cognitive labs & rest
Generations Neuro S.T.E.A.M. Labs in the afternoon, with quiet spaces and rest available throughout.
Snack, music, & departure
Wind down with a snack, live music, and a calm hand-off at pickup. Caregiver notes go home with every family.
Generations Neuro S.T.E.A.M. Labs
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics — designed for older adults living with cognitive change. Built around the idea that cognitive engagement should feel like joy, not a worksheet, our labs invite participants into hands-on projects that surprise their families and themselves.
Every lab is adapted for ability, mood, and the day — and every lab is built to honor the person, not the diagnosis.
Prior to attending the Legacy Center, Mama was adamant that she did not need to attend. "I could stay in my own house for free," is what Mama would say. In the beginning Mama had tears in her eyes each day, convinced she was being harmed. As Mama continued going, she eagerly looked forward to attending each day. Now, each day, Mama wants to make sure that her purse is filled with peppermint treats for all her friends at the Legacy Center.
What families ask first.

How much does it cost?
Fees are on a sliding scale, and scholarships are available through our nonprofit mission. We walk through the options, enrollment, and start dates together after a free assessment.
How do we get started?
Schedule a free, no-pressure assessment. We call you back within one business day, talk for about 30 minutes, then invite you and your loved one to tour the program. If we are not the right fit, we will help you find who is.

Tours are free, no pressure, and we'll walk you through enrollment if it feels right. If we're not the best fit, we'll help you figure out who is.
