The Senior Hub's Adult Day Service provides a break (respite) to the caregiver while providing social activities and health services for adults with Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, chronic illnesses, and other problems that increase their needs for care. Adult Day Service participants have an opportunity to interact socially with peers, share in stimulating activities, and receive assistance with their activities of daily living.
Our Adult Day Service offers supervised social and physical activities, discussions to stimulate memory, nutritious lunch and snacks, and wellness checks.
Adult Day programs are one of the fastest growing components of community-based long-term care. They have been providing a form of respite for caregivers in the United States for more than twenty years.
In 1978 there were only 300 centers nationwide. According to the National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA), there are now over 4,000.
Providing care for an aging parent, spouse, or loved one can be an overwhelming responsibility for family members and friends. Too often, struggling caregivers believe that nursing home placement is the only alternative available to them. Adult Day Services can be an option.
The Senior Hub's Adult Day Service provides support and socialization for older adults who are at risk being home alone during the day due to physical, cognitive, or socialization needs. Participants may be enrolled in the program for as little as one half day per week up to five days per week. Payment for the services may be private-pay, insurance coverage, or from Medicaid (for those clients who qualify financially).
Whether the caregiver works outside the home, needs time for personal appointments, has errands to run, or just needs a break, The Senior Hub's Adult Day Service can be the solution. It might be the one thing that makes a difference as to whether families can keep their loved one at home, rather than placing them in a nursing home or assisted-living facility. We'll make sure your loved one receives the care they need.
The Senior Hub contracted for space within the North Valley Rehabilitation Hospital to house our Adult Day Service program. The hospital provides inpatient and outpatient programs to assist individuals with acute or chronic disabling conditions.
