Adult Day Healthcare

Creating Community with Compassion

Since 2002, Compassionate Hearts Adult Day Health has been a much-needed source of support for individuals and families in need of supervised care during the day. By providing professional social, health and recreation services in a safe and supervised environment, Compassionate Hearts offers caregivers an alternative to nursing home care for their loved ones. Committed to offering valuable resources and personalized support, we assist individuals aged 21 and older dealing with physical or memory challenges.

Benefits of Adult Day Health Care

Adult Day Health Care offers a multitude of advantages for adults, aimed at prolonging their ability to reside in their own homes or within the community for as long as possible. These benefits include:

Safe Environment: Adult Day Health Care provides a secure setting for adults dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or mobility issues, reducing the risk of wandering, falls, or self-injury that may occur when left unsupervised.
Social Interaction: Participants engage in social activities, community outings and enjoy companionship, which has been shown to enhance both mental and physical well-being, promoting a sense of belonging and reducing feelings of loneliness.
Fall Prevention: Through tailored exercises designed to strengthen muscles and improve balance, Adult Day Health Care helps reduce the risk of falls among participants, contributing to their overall safety and mobility.
Caregiver Support: Adult Day Health Care relieves caregiver stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression by providing respite care and support for family members and caregivers. This service allows caregivers to focus on their own needs and responsibilities, knowing that their loved ones are receiving quality care and engagement throughout the day.
