“Our family is blessed beyond measure to have CPADS. It means my husband and I have time alone. It also means a social time for our daughter. She enjoys being with people.”
Our Talent Show was a smash! Sing it baby! Let’s get this show on the road!
A warm beverage, familiar songs, interesting conversation and welcoming faces...just some of the things we can offer to take the chill out of the winter air.

Adult Day Services
Welcome to 2016! Old friends and new, a renewal of goals and dreams. We’ve turned the corner and the days are getting just a little longer. Our weekly themes include: “Ringing in the new” and a Martin Luther King focus on community service. The main event this month will be “Elvis at the Waldorf,” an “imagination vacation” to 1940s and 50s NYC high society, with a twist, (no pun intended). Bite into our slice of the “Big Apple” pie, with a side of pimento cheese for“The King.” So dress up on Wed., Jan. 20, propose a toast and keep dancing!

Participant SPOTLIGHT Nancy Woods, Bill’s wife, said “Bill is a loving father, he loves people and likes to keep busy. He likes to joke, too.” Bill has a son and two daughters from a previous marriage and Nancy has two children from her previous marriage (a third child is deceased). Bill hails from Clearfield, PA where his father worked in the coal mines. Bill is one of ten children...wow! He graduated from Lasalle High School, near the beautiful Niagara Falls area of NY. A man with a strong work ethic, he painted houses, repaired Bill Woods and installed televisions, worked for several chemical plants and drove a truck for Overnite Transportation. A job with Goodyear Manufacturing brought him to NC...a smart move! Bill, we’re glad you’re here!
