LifeLong Medical Adult Day Health Care

LifeLong Medical Care Adult Day Health Care (LMC ADHC) offers a friendly and supportive environment where frail seniors and adults with disabilities can develop new friendships, participate in recreational activities, enjoy a hot meal, and receive ongoing nursing, rehabilitative and social services carefully planned to meet their individual needs.

The ADHC program is designed to help participants maintain or improve their ability to take care of themselves, so that they can continue living at home for as long as possible. Some benefits of participation may include increased independence, better strength and mobility, new social connections, early detection of health problems, improved sleep, and improved nutrition. The program also helps family caregivers maintain balance in their own lives by allowing them much-needed time for work, family, or personal obligations.

Each participant's care is monitored by a multidisciplinary team that includes a medical doctor, nurse, social worker, activity coordinator, physical therapist and occupational therapist. The ADHC also has a registered dietitian, psychologist, and speech therapist available for participants when needed. The team conducts ongoing evaluations of each participant in coordination with his or her primary care physician to ensure that everyone receives the highest quality care to meet their individual needs.

Activities at LMC ADHC are based on the interests and therapeutic needs of the participants enrolled at any given time. Thus a "typical" day is hard to define, but it might include morning "Java Time," current events, creative movement, arts & crafts, music and/or a special event such as a seasonal party, performance by a local dance troupe, class or field trip.

LMC ADHC is part of LifeLong Medical Care, a non-profit provider of primary medical and dental care for families, adults and seniors in the East Bay. To learn more about medical & dental services, please call (510) 701-6010 or visit LifeLong Medical Care on the Web at www.lifelongmedical.org.
