seniors love adult day centers
Adult Day Centers are a great resource for caregivers and seniors, but many are unaware of the benefits these centers can provide. For caregivers, trying to balance your personal responsibilities and caring for a loved one can become stressful at times. However, what is even more important are the benefits to seniors.
Staying inside during the winter months can take a toll on anyone. Trying to find fun and healthy activities to do yourself is not always easy. That is where Adult Day Centers come in. We provide a place for seniors to engage in exciting activities, socialize with others, and enjoy life outside of their home.
How adult day services can help
Adult Day Services are planned programs that last all of part of the day. These services help older adults and those who have medical or physical disabilities continue to have an active lifestyle and involvement in the community. Our services begin at 8am and end at 4pm. We provide breakfast and a gourmet three-course lunch. We also offer:
- Door to Door Transportation
- Nursing and Medical Supervision
- Health Screenings
- Shopping Trips
- Computer Classes
- Social Activities
- Exersize Programs
Our daily services are all enjoyed by our members in a safe and supervised environment.
Who benefits from adult day services?
Adult Day Centers are a right choice for you if:
- You are a caregiver in need of a short break
- You work full time and would like supervision for your loved one
- Seniors looking for a fun and exciting place to socialize with others
Improving the quality of life for both caregivers and loved ones is the number one priority of most individuals. I know you may be thinking right now, should I feel guilty if I am not home with my loved one?
The answer is no. Adult Day Centers are an amazing resource for both parties involved.
Have you ever heard the saying, “Too much of anything is not good?”
It applies in this case as well. Being the caregiver and never getting a break will lead to stress and caregiver burnout. This is only inevitable. As a caregiver, you need time to be able to take care of your own personal needs as well as enjoy your life out side of caregiving. Whether you are raising your own children, working part-time, or involved in other activities, you do not want these responsibilities to suffer due to care taking. Living a balanced life is very important. Remember, you must take care of yourself first before you can take care of another.
Other times it may be difficult to think if your care recipient will enjoy the day centers. You may be hesitant to leave supervision of your loved. That is normal. We understand. The staff at Juniper is very accommodating to the needs of our members. Many seniors come with their caregiver for the day to help them feel comfortable. And after that first day, most want to come back!
