A Sad Note from Anna Maria Adult Day Services It is with great sadness that I inform you Anna Maria Adult Day Services will be
closing its doors effective June 30, 2017. We are very proud of the program and
service we have provided to the community over the last several years. It is unfortu-
nately a business model that is unsustainable at this time. If you have any Dementia
care or information needs, I and The Campus of Anna Maria of Aurora are here to
help. Give us a call so we can explore your options together.
We are truly grateful for the invaluable support of the Orange Senior Center Staff and Orange Recreation
Department. This has been a wonderful partnership and an even better experience. Thank you for everything.
