Among Friends is a weekly care program, located at the First Congregational Church in River Falls, that serves the people of Pierce and St. Croix counties in Wisconsin. It was created by a group of passionate church and community volunteers in response to a need, right here in River Falls, for a social day program to help adults living with memory loss, mild cognitive impairment, or physical limitations and their caregivers. We are a local, affordable care option open to any person with memory loss or physical frailties who is living at home.

Participants spend their day in a safe, supportive, and stimulating atmosphere. They have opportunities to socialize, exercise, and participate in art, music, and active movement. They can also participate in crafts, games, and other activities.

Among Friends allows caregivers more time for themselves while knowing that their loved one is in a safe and stimulating place for the day.
