Services Offered to Frail Seniors & People with Disabilities

Adult Day Health Care was developed in the 1970's with two goals in mind. One is to achieve/maintain the optimal level of functioning for adults with disabilities, dementia and/or those who are frail. The second goal is to offer respite to their caregivers.

Our Adult Day Care programs offer a caring, supportive, and social environment. Each participant has an individualized plan of care created by a team of nurturing professionals. This plan defines how daily activities can be tailored to fit an individual's specific needs, and is designed to increase vitality and well-being while maximizing physical and mental abilities, in an interactive and social setting.

This program is a great alternative for families who are not able to provide full-time care and support for their loved ones, yet wish to have them remain living at home.

Adult Day Health Care Program

Our Adult Day Health Care program is designed for frail elders and adults with disabilities who need assistance caring for themselves, who require healthcare monitoring and/or would benefit from engaging in therapeutic physical, mental, and social activities within a safe and nurturing environment.

Social Day Care Program

Our Adult Day Care program is designed for isolated elders and persons with disabilities who don't need health monitoring, but who will benefit from the social interaction, recreational and educational activities, and emotional support.

The program also provides respite to caregivers who may be struggling with the daily demands of caring for an elder, as well as providing information and referral services for their unique caregiving situation.
