Social Adult Day Programs Provide Caregiver Relief
Social Adult Day Care is a
type of community program for
persons dependent on assistance
due to either physical or cognitive
limitations. This allows the person
to remain in the community with
the support of family or paid
caregivers rather than living in
a facility. Most centers are open
business hours with some open on
Saturdays. Activities and programs
in the adult day center provide
supportive care and opportunity
for fun to the individual. Trained
caregivers provide assistance with
personal care and activities are
adapted to meet the needs of each
person so that those attending the
center may remain engaged and
have improved quality of life.
Another benefit of the day
program is respite for the spouse
or other family member who
provides care when the person
is at home. When caregivers are
certain their loved one is receiving
professional care and having fun,
they feel secure going to work
or getting a much needed break
during the day. Those who attend
social adult day centers are not
independent enough to participate
in the activities at a senior center.
The day center helps them stay
active in the community, receive
the appropriate care as well as
provide programing that will
enrich their day.
Social Adult Day programs, like
Parker on Madison, a memory care
program for the frail elderly, is part
of the continuum of care offered by
Parker Jewish Institute for Health
Care and Rehabilitation. Parker
has been committed to addressing
the needs of the community, and
in particular the individual, to
offer options. Programs like Parker
on Madison help individuals keep
their independence and live in the
community and stay out of care
facilities. It provides respite for the
caregivers, while at the same time
offering the program participants
purpose and dignity. The staff is
comprised of a Life Enrichment
Coordinator, who is a licensed
master in social work, as well as
recreation specialists. The team
provides functionally impaired
older adults with socialization,
supervision, personal care, and
nutrition in a protective and
nurturing setting. The program
is open Monday through Friday,
10 am to 3 pm, and door to door
transportation is also provided.
