Family Support

BPI provides quality adult day services, providing families with peace of mind, knowing their loved one is being well cared for. Having the support of our program enables caregivers to work, do errands or just have time to relax.

BPI also offers a unique program entitled “Families Together.” So often individuals caring for an elderly or disabled loved one find that family and friends drift away. Not knowing how to help or wanting to bother the caregiver, they withdraw leaving the caregiver without critical emotional and social support.
