Some Possible Strategies to Convince
Your Loved One to Attend
 Do not give your loved one a choice. Explain that this is something that must be done.
Choose a day that has an activity or menu that your loved one will particularly enjoy.
Don't make the first day too long. It's best if they are picked up before others have left.
"Let's go there for lunch". Or come for lunch without telling your loved one in advance.

"Attend the Center or you will have to go to the Nursing Home"
"You must for my sake, I need to know you are safe / not alone."
"Make new friends."
"Stimulate your brain."
No beds there, everyone must go home every afternoon.
