Adult Day Care Services from DayBreak
After our initial consultation, our nursing staff creates an individualized plan for your loved one where we provide meals, recreational activities, transportation to and from the center, and general health-related services. Each participant in our program is able to select which activities and services they would like to enjoy, depending on their interests and how they are feeling from day to day. Staff supervision is also central to these services in order to ensure the safety of the participants.
Types of Adult Day Care Available at DayBreak of Shelby County
| This is the least intensive type of adult day care and is best for individuals who are relatively independent but could use supervised enrichment activities to improve their quality of life. Senior activities might include arts and crafts, local outings, games, discussion groups, musical entertainment, and fitness programs like chair yoga or tai chi. Staff can assist with activities of daily living and are usually able to provide medication reminders, but they would not administer them. |
| ADHC provides social and health services to older adults with serious medical conditions who require skilled nursing care from a registered nurse (RN) or therapy services for rehabilitation purposes. Participants in this program typically need to undergo a medical assessment and establish a care plan prior to admission. Properly licensed staff are available to administer medications and provide occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy to participants. Health screening services and case management may also be included. |
| This is the most specialized type of adult day program and it is tailored to meet the unique mental, social and physical needs of individuals with cognitive impairment and memory loss. Staff are specially trained in dementia care and provide activities that are appropriate for the participants’ functional abilities. |
