The Present Center is a specialized dementia-specific day program in Jamestown offered by the Chautauqua Adult Day Care Centers, Inc. These funds will help seniors who are unable to afford the full cost of the program be able to obtain a much needed service.

Nancy Elofson was a founding Board Member and a member of the original Task Force that was responsible for the agency opening the first Adult Day Care program in Chautauqua County in 1982.  In addition to being there in the beginning days, Mrs. Elofson continued on as Board President and member of the agency Board of Directors until her passing.  She was very active and supportive of the agency expanding its program over the years to currently having four sites that serve all of Chautauqua County. Nancy was a visionary who always had a passion to help caregivers and older adults in the community.
