What Services Are Provided By Adult Day Care?

Posted by Jennifer Otto May 19, 2022

Adult day care offers seniors and those with disabilities professional care, socialization, and opportunities for enrichment in a group setting. Programs provide supervised care and promote quality of life for both participants and their families. Though every facility is different, many adult day care centers feature the same services.

Door-To-Door Transportation

Most adult day care programs run during daytime hours. Subsequently, many facilities offer door-to-door transportation as an extra convenience since plenty of caregivers work outside of the home. By picking up and dropping off participants, facilities can provide just a little more respite to family members.

Meals & Snacks

This is perhaps one of the most common services you will find at all adult day care centers. It is usual for multiple snacks to be served throughout the day. It is also common for at least one meal, usually lunch, to be served. Centers will happily follow dietary restrictions as necessary.

Personal Care Assistance

If your senior loved one needs assistance with any activities of daily living, don’t worry! Personal care assistance is something that care workers understand and are trained in. Some centers employ certified PCAs and others will self-train their staff. Every facility is different, so if you want to know, then be sure to ask!

Cognitive Activities

Arts, crafts, and games are all activities to get the brain exercising! In an adult day care, you can find participants doing all of these. Some game favorites include BINGO, cards, and trivia!

Group Activities

One of the best things about participating in an adult day program is all of the opportunities for socialization! Group exercising, outdoor activities, and outings are among some common engagements.
