Why Adult Day Services?
Taking care of an older adult, whether an aging parent, a spouse, or another family member can be very challenging for those that love and care for them. Families often feel that their options are limited to providing the care themselves, hiring outside help, or placing their elderly loved one in a facility. However, families have another alternative that can be affordable and accessible, Adult Day Services. Adult Day Services provide a worthwhile, safe and nurturing environment for frail seniors who need daily supervision. By giving them opportunities to engage with others through fun and therapeutic

We care

activities in a caring and secure setting, these services allow for seniors to remain living at home for as long as possible. Research shows that over 87 percent of daycare clients have either improved or maintained their capabilities. In addition, seniors that participate in day services are positively affected emotionally and physically, and are more independent. Besides benefitting the senior, adult day services also help their families. Research has shown that caregivers, perhaps because of the burden of work and family responsibilities, are at increased risk of major health conditions such as depression, hypertension, and diabetes. The demand for informal caregivers is expected to increase by more than 20% in the next 15

years. Adult Day Services can help alleviate the many stressors that caregiving families face. These services can enable family members to continue to work, to rejuvenate self and their relationships, to obtain respite from 24 hour responsibility, and they give the family the peace of mind that their loved one is happy and in good care.
