SERVICES
The Center for Adult Day Care does not refuse to accept participants or deny services based on the participant’s race, creed, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin. We accept only participants for whom care can be properly provided.
WHY ADULT DAY CARE?
Adult day care programs are an invaluable alternative to traditional long-term care placement and provide a safe, secure environment in which to spend all or part of the day. Our program also provides needed support to family caregivers.
Carefully selected and appropriate physical exercise can help reduce falls. Meaningful social interaction can improve both mental and physical health and help to prevent or delay cognitive decline.
FACILITY & HYGIENE
The Center for Adult Day Care will follow recommendations from CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Standard Precautions regarding cleaning and disinfecting.
STAFF & FACILITY
Consistent outstanding care is the hallmark of our Center. Most of our staff members have served here for more than four years. Our Floor Supervisor is a great favorite and has fifteen years seniority. Staff attend ongoing in-service training and all staff are CPR certified.
The Center features an open floor plan, allowing lots of natural light and room for interaction.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Privacy is important to our clients. While we encourage community involvement, we carefully curate those companies and groups who are invited to be involved with our program. These include North Alabama Master Gardener Horticulture Therapy Program, Therapy Partners Inc, Musician Kirk Jones, "The Jammers" musicians, and UAH nursing students.
SENIOR CENTER COMMUNITY
We incorporate cognitive stimulation, socialization, hand eye coordination, and exercise on a daily basis.
