Adult Day Care Services

A typical day includes social activities, health services, classes, meals, and more. Seniors start arriving in the morning and take part in planned group activities until the afternoon.

Transportation To and From Home

Getting to and from an adult day care facility can be a major obstacle for many seniors and their caregivers. Limited mobility or health conditions may prevent older adults from driving safely. And for caregivers who work or need to manage other responsibilities, providing transportation poses logistical challenges. 

Fortunately, our adult day care center offers shuttle services to give participants reliable transportation.

Centers with transportation assist seniors with door-to-door pick-up and drop-off, ensuring they can fully take advantage of engaging programming. 

Without having to coordinate rides from caregivers or public transit, participants can more easily attend consistently. What’s more, caregivers have greater peace of mind knowing their loved one has a safe means for getting to and from care – and more freedom to go about their own day. 

Transportation erases a significant barrier to accessing adult day services. It is an essential component of enabling seniors to remain active in the community.

Health Services

Medication Management

Nurses administer prescription medications and oversee dosage. They monitor for side effects and interactions, recording any reactions. Locked storage keeps medications secure. Care teams conduct regular reviews of treatment plans.

Blood Pressure Checks

Given hypertension risks, blood pressure readings ensure senior health stability. Abnormal results trigger further evaluation by a nurse. Ongoing logs identify patterns for preventative action through diet and lifestyle changes if necessary.

Personal Care Assistance

For those needing help with bathing, toileting, oral care, grooming, dressing, and transferring in/out chairs, trained care aides provide hands-on assistance respectfully. This preserves dignity while ensuring essential daily functions.

Social Activities

Games and Crafts

Seniors can participate in various games such as bingo, trivia, board games, and card games that exercise the mind while providing social engagement. Arts and crafts activities like painting, coloring, sculpting with clay, and sewing allow participants to express their creativity. Adaptive tools make crafts accessible for those with dexterity issues.

Music and Dancing

Music therapy provides emotional benefits and stimulates memory and language functions. Seniors can listen to music, sing familiar songs, and play basic instruments. Dance sessions increase mobility while engaging several muscle groups. Both lively and gentle movement is incorporated to suit various abilities.

Conversation Groups

Facilitated discussion groups allow seniors to connect with peers. Possible topics range from current events, historical facts, personal reflections, or lighthearted content. Storytelling fosters community as participants take turns sharing life experiences. Conversation exercises language skills.

Intergenerational Programs

Activities with visiting school groups and youth organizations facilitate intergenerational bonding. Young volunteers may read aloud, assist with crafts, sing songs, or simply converse to combat senior isolation. These exchanges provide both age groups fresh perspectives and meaningful connections.

  • Eat nutritious meals tailored to dietary needs

 

The welcoming environment and range of activities keep seniors engaged. Plus, staff members monitor participants’ health. Being surrounded by caring professionals and peers provides comfort and safety.
