Adult Day Service

Our adult day program serves those who have memory impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and who require supervision and assistance with personal care needs during the day.

Many of our participants also have other medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart conditions. Some use a wheelchair, cane or walker to assist them with their mobility.

As Licking County’s only dementia-specific adult day center, we acknowledge that people with memory impairment disorders have unique care needs.

Our Center located in a former family home, offers a safe, familiar setting that is reassuring for those who have memory impairment.

Our carefully planned group and one-to-one activities are designed to be enjoyable while stimulating cognitive functions, encouraging use of physical abilities and promoting a sense of belonging through new friendships. Our goals are to maximize our participants’ abilities and to enrich their quality of life.

Our adult day service offers:

• Individual care plans that focus on program participant abilities and preferences
  
• Health monitoring & medication administration
  
• Respectful assistance with personal care
  
• Nutritionally balanced meal* and daily snacks
  
• Flexible scheduling
  
• Affordable Quality Care
  
• Experienced, caring staff who respect the dignity and individuality of those we serve

*Our meals are provided by the Licking County Aging Program's Meals on Wheels. Meal menus and meal ingredients may be accessed at http://lcap.org/menu/.

For the caregiver, our service offers ‘peace of mind’ knowing that their family member is safe and well-cared for while they work, take care of errands, rest or pursue personal interests.
