Abstract
The Place To Be, a faculty‐developed and ‐coordinated Alzheimer's day‐care/respite program, is a model for a Level I fieldwork placement for occupational therapy students. The purpose of the program is to provide (a) planned, appropriate, and purposeful activities in a predictable and safe environment for persons with dementia; (b) respite for family members; and (c) a meaningful and educational fieldwork experience for senior occupational therapy students. The program has proven to be advantageous for persons with Alzheimer's, their families, and occupational therapy students. The model can be adapted or expanded for student training in other disciplines.
