Easter Seals Disability Services

Adult Day Health Services

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.   

Adult Day Health Services addresses 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, and does not prefer full-time nursing home care. Easter Seals Adult Day Health Services benefit both 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 use public support in a cost effective manner.

Adult Day Health Services offer a break for family caregivers 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;
• Recently returned from a hospital 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 the use of a nursing facility. It may also make it possible for someone to return to a loving home from a nursing facility.

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.
