How Minerva Adult Care Is Changing Alzheimer’s Support in Lebanon

In the heart of Beirut, Minerva Adult Care is quietly revolutionizing daily life for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. As Lebanon’s first dedicated dementia day care center, it offers a vibrant space where members thrive through meaningful activities and genuine human connection.

For families, the Alzheimer’s journey often feels isolating and overwhelming. Minerva bridges that gap with a warm, structured environment that stimulates the mind, body, and spirit, while giving caregivers essential respite.

Everyday Life with Purpose

At Minerva, every day is filled with engaging activities designed to awaken the mind, body, and spirit. Members immerse themselves in memory games, concentration exercises, arts and crafts, music sessions, and multi-sensory therapy. Physical and occupational therapy builds strength and confidence, while pet therapy, discussion groups, and culinary arts foster a sense of community.

A Community Lifeline for Families

Minerva acts as a safe haven for those with dementia, offering vital support for families bearing the emotional and physical weight of caregiving. Day care services like these reduce stress, provide structured routines, and elevate quality of life for everyone involved.

Their center understands the struggles of caregiving and sheds light on the challenges many families face, including caregiver guilt, isolation, and burnout. It actively educates and supports families, helping them understand that taking time for themselves is both necessary and healthy.

Caregivers gain precious time to work, rest, or handle other duties, all with full confidence in expert care. The center honors each person’s dignity and independence while nurturing social bonds and mental stimulation.

Named thoughtfully after the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva Adult Care was founded on the conviction that people with dementia deserve vibrant days, not mere quiet supervision. Its trained professionals cultivate a welcoming atmosphere where every member feels valued and engaged.

In a country with limited dementia resources, Minerva shines as a beacon for the future of Alzheimer’s care in Lebanon. For more information, make sure to check out their website and Instagram.
