Adult social Day program
Welcome to Better Day—a unique social day program designed to support, connect and provide meaningful engagement for adults living with cognitive impairment in the MetroWest Boston area. Better Day is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
At Better Day, our focus is on creating a better day for everyone. Our compassionate staff are well-versed both professionally and personally with the challenges that those living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias face each day, as well as the challenges that their loved ones caring for them also encounter.
At Better Day Adult Social Day Program, every gift makes a meaningful impact. We invite you to support our mission to create better days for people living with dementia and their caregivers by making a donation today. Your generosity helps us reduce isolation, provide compassionate, engaging care, and offer vital support to families living with dementia. Whether you choose to contribute to our "A Home for Better Day" campaign, give to our Financial Assistance Program, or simply support our ongoing programs and services, your donation helps us build a stronger, more connected community. Together, we can bring light, joy, and dignity to every day.

Better Day Adult Social Day Program
In a community effort Pleasantries changes into Better Day Adult Social Day Program, a nonprofit organization; new name, new organizational structure but same warm, compassionate care. Better Day continues the work of Pleasantries to help guests extend their time living at home with their loved ones and in their community.
“My mother loves coming to Better Day. She is 90 years old and feels at home and comfortable with the staff and the other guests. She loves to play the piano, take walks and socialize with everyone. She lost her husband this summer and now lives with me, her daughter. I work full time and Better Day has allowed my mother to be in a home like atmosphere where I know she is cared for and is so happy. I cannot be happier with the staff and loving care that she is given.” - Linda G., Sudbury, MA
