Caring for an adult who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease isn’t easy. However, it’s a labor of love that many of us have to face when our parents or loved ones are dealing with a mental impairment. After a while the daily routine can become monotonous, causing depression and other ill effects to set in for all those involved.

Changing up your daily routine a bit can relieve much of the stress and dread associated with doing the same thing day after day after day. In fact, caregivers and their loved ones have a number of options they can consider. Adult day care is one option that provides a number of benefits to those who are living with mental impairments like dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease as well as for their caregivers.

Adult day care is designed to provide care and companionship for seniors or others with mental impairments who need assistance or supervision during the day. It can provide caregivers with a much needed break from their care giving duties. Caregivers can rest easy knowing that their loved one is being cared for in a quality facility by trained staff who have their best interests in mind. Being able to take a break from their care giving duties also allows caregivers to take care of personal business or errands that they may have been putting off in their own lives.

Adult day care also provides the social interaction that so many of those who are living with a mental impairment often lack. It gives them the opportunity to meet people, make new friends and maintain their social skills. This can be very exciting, especially for those who rarely see or visit with anyone aside from their caregiver from day to day.

In addition to the the social aspects, there are a number of activities that attendees can partake in at day care centers as well. These activities are usually designed to strengthen and maintain motor and cognitive skills, both of which tend to deteriorate in the advanced stages of mental impairment.

If you are the caregiver of a person living with a mental impairment, we invite you to learn more about our facility so that you can decide if our program is right for you and your loved one.
