SCHEDULE Full day, six hour services Convenient half day availability	This Supportive Day Program, fondly named, "The Good Times Club", is a respite service, housed at the Middleboro Council on Aging, for senior members and their families. Monday through Friday from 8:45am to 2:45pm the program provides therapeutic recreation with a variety of activities, nutritionally planned meals and monitored health needs to each member. All participants are given individual attention and respect for their personal dignity. "Today there is a great need for respite among working families. Seniors in households where family members are working or in school all day, need to feel productive as well as secure and safe. The "Good Times Club" provides a schedule of activities that promote a feeling of acceptance and camaraderie in safe and secure surroundings." ~ Susan Adams, Program Director
