Adult Care Center Placement

Adult Care Advisors can find a relaxing, nurturing adult day care for your aging parent, giving you the time to run errands, work, or take a break.

Adult Day Care for Your Loved One

Adult day care, unlike an assisted living community, is designed to relieve the caretaker of duties during the day, providing a safe and friendly environment for older adults who can no longer manage day-to-day functions. These locations provide planned activities to promote mental and physical health for people with the average age of 76. The National Adult Day Services Association recommends that the staff to participant ratio is one to six. This ensures your loved one will receive similar care to when they are at home.

What to Consider

Finding the right facility for your loved one can be easy when considering certain steps. Getting a feel for the atmosphere and staff are importing aspects, as well as judging the cleanliness of the property and quality of furniture and accessories. Take a look at the program to make sure that the activities the center offers are balanced, and are things your loved one is interested in. Find out how long the center has been operating, who owns or sponsors it, if it is licensed, the staff’s training and credentials, and if they provide meals that fit with your loved one’s diet. Lastly, if your loved one has a memory disability like dementia, be sure to check with the centers and see what medical conditions they accept.

Adult Day Care Center vs. Adult Day Health Care

Adult day care centers are supervised daytime programs for adults who do not require the oversight of a nurse or therapist. Individuals at these facilities will interact with other adults, while engaging in a range of activities, such as games and arts and crafts. Adult day health care, on the other hand, is intended for individuals who require medical attention as well as skilled nursing and rehabilitative therapy for adults who have medical disabilities and need extra help from certified medical staff.
