Care and kinship activities your loved one will enjoy
Taking care of an older adult, an adult with a disability, or a person with memory issues is a lot of work. And it often leaves little time for anything else.
Here’s the good news: Adult Day Centers throughout Maine offer social and therapeutic activities that are supervised by caring, creative staff who make it fun for everyone. Each center serves meals and snacks. Some offer limited health services.
Customized care plans
Depending on your loved one’s diagnosis and other needs, the center will provide a custom plan to support their care needs during their regular visits. They’ll also help identify and plan for other services your family may need. These may include things like transportation to and from the center.
A “home away from home” they will love—and the regular break you need
Visit an adult day center and you’ll find a safe, welcoming, joyous community. Once enrolled, your loved one will make friends they will look forward to seeing on a regular basis. For most, their Adult Day Center will come to feel like a home away from home. And the activities—from games to music programs to art projects and more—will help keep them engaged and sharp.
Meanwhile, each day your loved one attends will provide you with time to run errands, visit friends and family, continue working, or simply rest.
The affordable way to keep your loved one living at home, longer
Care partners may not want to place their loved one in a nursing home. Residential care can be expensive.
Adult Day Services help you keep your loved one living at home—where they are comfortable, and everything is familiar—longer. In other words, taking advantage of Adult Day Services can delay the need for more intensive or costly services.
