What is adult day care?

Adult day care provides a daytime program for adults with cognitive and physical impairments who will benefit from social stimulation, peer interaction, recreational activities, and nutritious meals in a safe, secure environment. Through participation in a day program, adults with impairments such as Alzheimer’s Disease, vascular dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke-related memory loss and mild cognitive impairment are able to continue living with their family members in the comfort and familiarity of home while receiving the care and attention they need during the day. This also allows the caregiver to work or use the daytime hours for personal business and tasks for much needed respite.
