The Adult Day Health Care Centers help delay or prevent premature placement in a nursing home, psychiatric facility or other institution for the frail elderly and other physically or mentally impaired adults 18 and over. The ADHC is a dual-model program which provides a medical model and a social model. The emphasis of care will revolve around the medical model which promotes restoration or maintenance of physical and/or mental functioning ability and will monitor or provide for medically related needs of participants. The social model provides non-medical care, supervision, and guidance or training essential for sustaining the activities of daily living.

The ongoing goals of the ADHC include maintaining functional independence and preventing premature institutionalization while providing respite and a support system for caregivers and providing a therapeutic environment involving; physical , occupational, speech, recreation, psycho-social and creative arts therapy to increase the quality of life for participants.

Through the Centers, high-quality comprehensive care at a reasonable cost is provided to the community. The program will assist qualified participants by providing a support network as well as an opportunity to restore or maintain functional independence that is commensurate with existing and potential capabilities through a multi-disciplinary team approach.
