CONWAY — The MWV Adult Day Center will fill a needed gap in health-care services in the Mount Washington Valley when it opens in early August, those who have helped bring it to fruition said last week.
The state-of-the-art, 14,000-square-foot facility located off Route 113 in Center Conway will provide activities and services for those with memory loss and other cognitive impairments.
