More Than a Day Center: How Still Waters Is Redefining Senior Care
At Still Waters Adult Day Center, we believe aging is a journey worth celebrating. Tucked in the heart of Indianapolis, our center is more than just a place to spend the day—it’s a thriving community where seniors with physical or cognitive concerns come to reconnect, re-energize, and remember.
Elevating Memory Care Through Music and Storytelling
Memory loss can be one of the most heartbreaking challenges families face. That’s why Still Waters has developed unique memory care programs rooted in music and storytelling. Through our Melodies of Memory program, a certified music therapist helps guests tap into long-forgotten memories with the power of rhythm and familiar tunes. Weekly storytelling sessions allow participants to share their life experiences, stimulating recall and promoting meaningful connections.
These memory care programs aren’t just engaging—they’re backed by research and supported by our incredible partners like Arts Midwest and Creative Pathways.
Bridging Generations: When Preschoolers Meet Seniors
What happens when a group of preschoolers joins our seniors for a music session? Pure magic. Our intergenerational programs foster empathy, spark joy, and build bridges between the young and the young-at-heart. This summer, campers from our preschool program shared songs, dances, and laughter with our guests, proving that age is just a number when it comes to making friends.
Prioritizing Wellness: Fitness, Nutrition, and Fresh Air
Wellness is at the heart of everything we do. Through our new Fitness for Our Seniors program, guests participate in weekly adaptive movement classes led by certified instructors, helping to lower blood pressure, improve mobility, and boost mental well-being.
Nutrition is another key ingredient. Thanks to a collaboration with IU Indianapolis' dietetic students, our guests have been learning about the MIND diet, creating healthy sides and desserts, and building confidence in making better food choices.
And let’s not forget our expanded community garden, tended weekly by guests, volunteers, and master gardeners. This therapeutic space provides fresh vegetables, gentle exercise, and new friendships rooted in the soil.
A Safe Space for Seniors—and Peace of Mind for Families
Still Waters is a dementia-friendly business, committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment. With trained staff, safe spaces, and customized care plans, we’re here to support not just our guests, but their families too.
We offer tours of our newly redesigned “Gathering Place,” a warm and welcoming space where families can relax, connect, and get to know our team. Whether you’re exploring care options for a loved one or seeking ways to help them age in place, we’re here to help.
