When Mary Louise came to live with me almost three years ago, we were both thrust into a whole new world. The Center for Adult Day Care at the Senior Center has been a God-send for her as well as myself, (her sister and care-giver). She loves going to the Center and looks forward to it everyday. It gives her the social outlet she needs with people she feels comfortable with. She has blossomed with confidence in the acceptance she receives there. It gives me the freedom to carry on with my work without worrying about her well-being. She loves the staff and has nothing but good things to say about them. My experience with everyone there has always been very positive. We are both so thankful for the services offered by the Center.

The Center for Adult Day Care has been an amazing help to our family. They provide individuals with special needs the ability to live normal lives through music and dance, arts and craft projects, gardening, and much more, while simultaneously providing compassionate care.

WHY ADULT DAY CARE?

Adult day care programs are an invaluable alternative to traditional long-term care placement and provide a safe, secure environment in which to spend all or part of the day. Our program also provides needed support to family caregivers.

Carefully selected and appropriate physical exercise can help reduce falls. Meaningful social interaction can improve both mental and physical health and help to prevent or delay cognitive decline.

FACILITY & HYGIENE

The Center for Adult Day Care will follow recommendations from CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Standard Precautions regarding cleaning and disinfecting.

Consistent outstanding care is the hallmark of our Center. Most of our staff members have served here for more than four years. Our Floor Supervisor is a great favorite and has fifteen years seniority. Staff attend ongoing in-service training and all staff are CPR certified.

The Center features an open floor plan, allowing lots of natural light and room for interaction.
