About the Adult Day Health Program

As part of the Main Center, Adult Day Health provides on-site respite services for up to 60 adults each day, offering a safe and compassionate environment for seniors and adults with disabilities who are unable to live independently. Respite services offer peace of mind to families, who can be assured their loved one is being cared for by experienced staff while they are at work or other daytime commitments. Our experienced staff include the ADH Director, Registered Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Social Workers, and Activities Coordinators.

“Thank you so much for the love and care you shower on my mother. She is blossoming so beautifully at a stage in life when she could easily be withering. You are a blessing to her and the other senior citizens in the Adult Day Health service.”
