Need to Know: Change in Program Hours

NOVEMBER 2, 2015 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2016, SIDE BY SIDE PROGRAM HOURS WILL BE 8:30AM-2:30PM   Construction is beginning for installation of a fire sprinkler system in our building. This is required by the Fire Marshall in order to meet a new state requirement that we be licensed as an Adult Day Center.   Construction work will be performed during late afternoons, nights and weekends. Though this will increase the cost, it will allow us to remain open to members during this time. We anticipate that this project will take 3 to 4 months to complete. To ensure the safety of members and staff, we must vacate the building before 4:00pm each day. Given the unpredictable arrival of many transport providers, we are shifting the hours of the Clubhouse day. The daily schedule will begin and end one-half hour earlier.   What you need to know:

  • Monday November 2, 2015 is the first day of the new schedule
  • New Clubhouse hours 8:30am-2:30pm
  • Doors open at 7:30 am for member arrivals
  • Please change all pickup times to ½ hour earlier. Even if your pickup time is 2:30 now, change it to 2:00. As you know, transit providers need a window of time, especially in afternoon traffic.
  Other helpful dates:
  • Clubhouse will be open for Game Night on Friday, November 13
  • Clubhouse will be closed Thursday Nov 26 (Thanksgiving day) & Friday Nov 27
  • Clubhouse will be closed on Friday Dec 25 (Christmas day) & Friday Jan 1, 2016 (New Year’s Day)
  • Game Night on Dec 11is TBD. Stay tuned for updates
  Please consider how these changes may impact you, whether member or caregiver. Make adjustments to transportation arrangements and schedules for interpreters and personal assistants. We are communicating with both SouthEast Tran and Logisticare regarding this change.   While we do not anticipate closure for any other days, construction does have an element of unpredictability. We will notify members of any unexpected closures, post it on our Facebook Page (Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse-Stone Mtn GA), and leave a voice message on the Clubhouse phone. As you can imagine, we are unable to personally contact caregivers for 65+ active members so we must rely on you to discuss plans frequently with members, check our FB page, and email us with questions. We are grateful for your patience as we go through this process. Please feel free to contact Teresa or other staff with any questions and concerns at 770-469-9355 or teresa@sidebysideclubhouse.org.]]>
