Meet the Owner 

 

Bon Jour came from my heart and from my years of working with seniors and individuals with disabilities. I saw a need for a welcoming place where adults experiencing cognitive changes could keep exercising their minds, connect with others, build friendships, and enjoy meaningful activities in a small-group setting.

​

I also want families to understand what makes Bon Jour different.

 

We are not an adult day care or personal care facility. Bon Jour is a cognitive and social wellness center for individuals who can manage their own personal care needs while participating. Our staff focuses on cognitive coaching, social engagement, movement, and activities; we are not staffed or equipped to provide assistance with activities of daily living. If a participant needs this type of assistance, they may attend with their own caregiver or sitter.

​

Through Fit Minds® Cognitive Coaching, conversation, movement, and purposeful activities, my goal is to help each person continue using their strengths and abilities while staying socially connected and engaged.

​

I’m personally involved at Bon Jour and enjoy getting to know our clients and their families. Seeing someone make a new friend, laugh with the group, participate in an activity, or feel proud of something they accomplished is what makes Bon Jour so special to me.

​

Bon Jour is more than a business to me. It is a place I’m proud to have created for individuals who can benefit from cognitive stimulation, meaningful social connection, and a sense of belonging.
