Benefits
Adult day care offers a positive situation for everyone in the family — not only the participant who attends the program, but also the family member who has primary responsibility as a caregiver. The physical, psychological and economical consequences for the caregiver lessen with the Care Center’s support.

- A safe, secure environment in which to spend the day
- Enjoyable and educational activities
- Improvement in mental and physical health
- Enhanced or maintained level of independence
