Adult Day Care

Our Adult Day Care Center is a professionally operated program designed to assist older adults who don’t want or need the continuous care of a hospital or other long term facility, but may need help with self-care, require supervision, or would like to socialize with others. We offer a variety of health and social services in a protective, sociable and positive group setting. This program provides families with relief from care-giving responsibilities, emotional reassurance, assistance with their family member’s care, and short or long-term attendance plans.

Adult Day Care has an on-site Registered Nurse Director and Activity Coordinator (CNA), and daily programming, Monday through Friday, 7:00am-3:30pm, except for holidays. Our nurse and CNAs provide ongoing health assessments including blood pressure, weight, nutritional status, and note any changes in level of functioning. Our nursing staff also administers medication as ordered and may provide skilled nursing services and treatments with physician orders, bathing and personal care as indicated or requested.  We use a team approach to assure your loved one is well cared for.

Social opportunities offer our guests a way to stay in touch with the world. Our friendly and nurturing environment helps them find joy in sharing themselves and renewing their interest in others. Card games, arts, crafts, bingo, community outings (including shopping at area businesses), holiday and birthday celebrations, guest entertainment, intergenerational programs, daily exercise programs and educational programs are some of the social opportunities available.  Beauty Shop located on campus with Hairdresser/Barber services available upon request. 

Meals aren’t just a way to renew the nutritional needs of our bodies. Our meals are developed by our dietician to ensure nutritional values are met.  Our food is delicious and snacks are available throughout the day. Lunch offers an opportunity for relaxation and sociability. Sharing a meal forms connections to other people, encourages communication and interaction, and builds important friendships.
