Providing adult day care in a loving
environment since 1987
What is Adult Day Care?
Adult day care is a way of providing daytime supervision
and assistance to physically and/or mentally frail adults.
This type of care allows family members to continue to work
while providing care to another adult. It also provides
respite and some private time for caregivers. Adult day care
is really a kind of therapy which invites the adult into a
community of other adults for socialization and enjoyment,
at the same time providing needed care and services. St.
Mary Magdalen Adult Center serves adults with chronic health
problems as well as those needing companionship and
support.
Philosophy of Care
The Adult Center reflects the love that the parish
community of St. Mary Magdalen has for adults who need
special care and attention. This program of compassionate
care is the sign of God's love and presence among us. The
dignity of each person is the focus of our client-centered
day care program. Each participant's interests and abilities
are incorporated into the plan of care creating a "home
away from home" atmosphere. Those who are frail or need
assistance are invited to enjoy a day in our cozy,
comfortable setting. Family caregivers receive support and
encouragement from our capable RNs and aides.
Eligibility
Frail adults, whose needs can be met in our setting, are
eligible for day care services. Registration is through
personal interview and a visit to the center. Medical and
tuberculosis clearance from clients own physician is
required.
