Most older adults prefer to stay in their homes rather than move to an institutional setting. Sometimes all they need to remain in the community is a little extra help. BACS' Adult Day Care Program is designed to provide that extra help and support for older adults experiencing chronic health problems, including Alzheimer's Disease. In addition, the program provides a respite for family members and caregivers, who are assured that their loved one is receiving reliable care while they attend to their daily affairs.
The Day Care Programs provide the following services:
Door to door transportation to all who need it.
A hot, nutritionally-balanced meal.
A structured program, with activities led by trained staff, both paid and volunteer. Examples of activities include: memory exercises, reminiscing, cooking, mild body movement, games such as chair volleyball, arts and crafts, gardening, music and singing, drama, group discussions, speakers, and field trips.
Ongoing respite and support for caregivers and family members.
Daily program leadership provided by Adult Education teachers and BACS Staff.
Client referrals to other agencies as needed.
