We provide all-inclusive adult day health care for seniors: Door-to-door transportation, hot nutritious lunch, fun and stimulating activities.
An additional service we implemented in 2001 is our Alzheimer’s program. Alzheimer’s is a family disease. It affects the spouse, children, relatives and friends. As a health care provider, you may sometimes care for the family as much as the client. Families and their caregivers shoulder the responsibility for 24-hour care. Our program provides needed respite, educational classes, and support groups, including the Alzheimer’s Café that supports both the client and their caregiver. Having an Alzheimer’s program in our own community prevents premature institutionalization; saving all a financial burden.
The Center offers a daily program of activities and health services operated by a staff of professionals and trained program aides. The Center works in cooperation with the participants, their caregivers, and their personal physicians in an atmosphere that is both caring and supportive. The Center's purpose is achieved by providing supportive services that include nursing, medication monitoring, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social services, and personal care including bathing and hygiene programs. Nutritional counseling is offered along with a daily hot and nutritious lunch. In addition to health services, CADHC provides safe and comfortable social environment where participants can make new friends, stay active, involved and continue to enjoy life. The program offers activities that are fun and stimulating cognitively, physically and socially in a warm and friendly setting. We transport all our participants door-to-door in wheelchair accessible buses.
Through our Family Caregiver Support Program, we are able to provide much needed support to families and caregivers. Our services include case management, counseling for both the client and the caregiver, caregiver training, and free respite days are given to families that are in the greatest social and economic need, with particular attention to low-income individuals and older individuals providing care and support. Families are the mainstay of long-term care. Caregiver programs significantly reduce health care cost. The contribution of America’s caregivers to the nation’s health care system is valued at $257 billion annually, compared to $32 billion for home care and $92 billion on nursing home care. If we care for the caregiver, then the disabled adult can remain in their own home, close to family and friends and in the community they helped build. This contributes overall to community health.
