Supporting Social Needs Benefits Health
By offering meaningful opportunities for social contact, Adult Day Services programs nurture mind and spirit, often resulting in significant psychological and health benefits.
Supporting Health Means Supporting Independence
Adult Day Services programs provide essential health monitoring and medical services. This means that health problems can be detected early, before complications occur. With exercise and physical therapy, participants maintain and even improve strength and mobility, and reduce or eliminate sleep problems. Many participants in Adult Day Services programs delay or completely avoid the need for institutionalization.
An Extension of Your Own Caregiving
Adult Day Services programs not only maximize the ability of the adult who attends the program, they also help family caregivers maintain their balance. Professional staff assists in developing a care plan and can provide necessary health and medical care or referrals. Adult Day Services programs offer caregivers much-needed respite, freeing up time for family and work obligations.
Coordinating with Home Care
Some people need health care or supervision extending beyond workday hours. In these cases, a combination of home care and an Adult Day Services program can be a creative and cost-effective way to ensure the best care plan.
