On this compassionate and eye-opening episode of Connect Germantown, host Janie Day speaks with Herbie Krisle, Executive Director of Page Robbins Adult Day Center, a nonprofit that’s been supporting families impacted by memory loss for over 30 years in Collierville, TN.

Herbie shares how Page Robbins offers more than just adult day services—they deliver uplifting care, social connection, nutritious meals, and vital support for caregivers, all while operating with no government funding. From joyful activities to caregiver resources, this center is helping seniors—and their families—live fuller, more connected lives.

💜 In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • What adult day programs are—and why they’re a critical “middle ground” between home and full-time care
  • How Page Robbins operates with a low client-to-caregiver ratio and five different activity programs daily
  • The wide range of participants—from age 43 to 90+—and why no formal diagnosis is required to attend
  • How the nonprofit raises over $800,000 annually through events like their gala, golf tournament, and "0.0 No Show Fun Run"
  • Free caregiver support programs available to the public, including support groups, education sessions, and Dementia Live simulations
  • Herbie’s advice for families noticing signs of cognitive decline and why early evaluations matter
