Caring for a family member? You're not alone. According to the National Family Caregivers Association, more than one quarter of the adult population has provided care to a family member or friend during the past year.  

You'll love our ADULT DAY HEALTH SERVICES program!Adult Day Health Services address the medical and social needs of individuals who experience the effects of aging and/or the impact of a physical disability. Easter Seals provides choices when a loved one needs assistance with daily living, but is not ready of full-time nursing home care. Easter Seals Adult Day Health Services benefit participants and their caregivers.

Like all Easter Seal services, Easter Seals Adult Day Health Services are comprehensive and individualized to meet each client's needs, family-focused to meet each family member's concerns, outcome-oriented with a goal of enhanced independence, and cost-effective benefiting from public support.

Adult Day Health Services offer respite for family members responsible for a relative who is unable to function independently, but does not require 24-hour nursing care. Participants in the program may have:

  • A physical disability;
  • A mental impairment;
  • A need for special assistance with activities of daily living that falls short of 24-hour institutional care;
  • Returned from a recent hospital or institutional visit.
Easter Seals provides a safe group environment with coordinated health and social services to promote stabilizing or improving self-care. Qualified, dedicated staff implement best practices in service delivery. Center-based care may prevent, postpone, or reduce institutionalization.

Easter Seals programs provide medical supervision and health-related services on a daily basis. Nursing staff administers medications and monitors a variety of medical conditions. Most often, therapy services (occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy) are available.  Referrals to our centers may include individuals who have recently been discharges from a hospital.
