About Us
Hi there! Thank you for taking a look around our site and getting to know Abundant Days. My name is Dana DeLucia and I am the founder of our family owned and operated organization! We started in our work because we have been there. I have worked in many Memory Care Neighborhoods as a Gerontologist and a Certified Dementia Practitioner; and more personally, I have been with my own family members as they grew seasoned in life- I have seen the abilities shift and how we must change as well. I know how special our loved ones are, the wisdom they bring us, and I know God is working in their lives and ours as caregivers.
Life may have shifted in some ways, but each day is still full of possibilities. Peaceful moments or engaging experiences, we’re here to help make the most of your time together.
As a caregiver, working in a facility, or taking care of your parents at home, we know you do so much. As you most likely know and experience, is not always easy! Our goal is to ease the journey so you can focus on what’s most important—cherishing the time with your loved one.
At the end of each day as you lay your head down, it is our prayer that your loved one feels fulfilled, you feel supported as a caregiver, and you are all hopeful for the next.
Welcome to Abundant Days.
With Warmest Regards,
Dana DeLucia
Our Vision and Mission
At Abundant Days, we envision a world where every seasoned adult enjoys fulfilling days filled with a Rainbow of Experiences—because there is still so much to explore, share, and learn.
Our mission is to partner with seasoned adults and caregivers to develop Life Abundant Plans, Group Experiences, and Workforce Workshops. Through thoughtful planning and proven methods, we empower both individuals and caregivers to embrace each day with confidence, creating opportunities for fulfillment and shared moments along the journey.
Our Approach
At Abundant Days, we believe that true fulfillment comes from engaging with life on multiple levels. A meaningful day involves more than just physical care—it’s about nurturing the mind, heart, and spirit. Our approach focuses on the Rainbow of Experiences, seven essential life domains that reflect the full spectrum of well-being. These domains guide both individual life abundant planning and group experiences, ensuring that each day aligns with the unique interests, values, and abilities of the individuals we serve.
By weaving activities across these domains, we ensure that every day—whether for an individual or a group—is filled with opportunities for joy, reflection, and meaningful engagement.
