What activities are there to do for my dad with mild Alzheimers in the Penn Yan area when he is out with his caregiver in the afternoons? Are there any group activities he could join in? Bingo? Classes? Senior Day Care (not Soldiers and Sailors apparently as we were told the participants are all psych patients? Thank you.

"Dementia" covers a wide range of cognitive ability, attention spans, behavioral issues -- what is nice for one is too complex for someone else. Try different things and see what Dad enjoys.
We also found that an adult day health program was very useful a few days a week. They had activities, programs, and some outings.
Good luck!
