Care Options: Adult Day Services Programs
Adult Day Services programs offer an alternative to nursing home care for those who do not need 24-hour skilled nursing. Adult day services often assist working caregivers to balance the needs of work and caregiving responsibilities as well as respite for full-time family caregivers. These programs are designed to help people stay mentally and physically active while reducing their isolation, improving their health, and preventing the decline of their abilities.
