Adult Day Health Centers provide frail adults experiencing physical, mental or social problems associated with stroke, isolation, confusion or other conditions with the opportunity to meet new people, participate in challenging activities and enjoy daily life in comforting surroundings. Supportive staff members and volunteers oversee a variety of activities specially designed to meet the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs of adults who may be physically challenged or coping with some sort of dementia or memory loss. These activities can range from arts & crafts, discussion groups and light exercise to the provision of safe care to functionally impaired persons and can include such services as Case Management, Individual counseling, and health screening. Caring for a frail or disabled person is a demanding job. Adult Day Health Centers can provide caregivers with a much-deserved break, secure in the knowledge that family members are receiving excellent care.
