Where Every Day is Designed Around You
Every day at DayBreak is built around the people we serve, their memories, their strengths, and the joy of who they are today.
Our person-centered approach ensures each individual receives care tailored to their unique life, preferences, and abilities because no two journeys are the same.
Our Approach to Person-Centered Care
At DayBreak, care begins with connection. We take time to truly know each person, their story, interests, routines, and what makes them feel at home. This understanding guides every activity, conversation, and moment of the day.
Person-centered care means we see the individual, not the condition. We honor each person’s choices, celebrate their strengths, and support their sense of purpose. Every member of our team is trained to engage with empathy, patience, and respect creating an environment where every person feels seen, valued, and understood.
Supporting the Whole Person
Well-being is about more than health—it’s about wholeness. That’s why our program is designed to nurture five essential domains that shape each person’s quality of life:
Cognitive Health
We offer activities that spark curiosity and keep the mind engaged—puzzles, music, conversation, and creative expression that stimulate memory and confidence.
Physical Health
Daily movement matters. From gentle stretching and guided walks to recreation and dance, we encourage strength, balance, and independence in ways that feel joyful.
Spiritual Health
Meaning and reflection take many forms. We make space for gratitude, calm, and personal faith traditions through quiet moments, music, and time in nature.
Social Health
Community is at the heart of DayBreak. Shared meals, laughter, and group activities foster friendship, belonging, and connection.
Emotional Health
We provide a supportive environment where feelings are acknowledged and respected. Our team offers reassurance, comfort, and compassionate understanding in every interaction.
Led by Our Therapeutic Program Specialist
Our holistic programming is led by Lizzie DeLaMare, a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS). Lizzie brings creativity, warmth, and professional expertise to every element of the DayBreak experience.
As our Therapeutic Program Specialist, Lizzie designs and facilitates activities that promote well-being across all five domains of health. She works closely with families and staff to ensure each participant’s experience reflects their unique interests, abilities, and goals.
Under Lizzie’s leadership, every day at DayBreak becomes a purposeful blend of joy, connection, and growth.
Getting to Know Each Person
At DayBreak, truly personalized care begins long before a participant’s first day. Our process starts with the “Get to Know Me” profile. A simple yet meaningful way for families to help us understand who their loved one is beyond their care needs.
This form captures the details that make each person unique:
- Personal history – where they’ve lived, worked, and the moments that shaped their life
- Interests and hobbies – the activities, music, and experiences that bring them joy
- Routines and preferences – how they like to spend their day, favorite foods, or calming moments
- Personality and communication style – what makes them laugh, what helps them feel comfortable, and how they best connect with others
- Family and connections – the people and relationships that are most meaningful to them
Completing the “Get to Know Me” profile helps our team design experiences that feel familiar, joyful, and supportive. It guides how we communicate, plan activities, and create comfort throughout the day—because knowing the person behind the care plan changes everything.
Families can fill out the form online or in person during the enrollment process. Our staff is always happy to help, especially if you’d like guidance on what to include or how to capture your loved one’s story.
The Difference You’ll Feel
From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the difference—the laughter, the sense of calm, the genuine connection between participants and staff.
At DayBreak, we believe quality care is not just about support and safety—it’s about creating a life-giving experience every day. Here, every person is known, valued, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
