What Does Our Adult Day Health Care Program Include? A Look Inside

As a caregiver, it’s natural to worry about what your loved one with developmental disabilities does when you aren't there. Are they safe? Are they engaged? Are they happy? At Advanced Developmental Disabilities Services Inc, our adult day care programs (often referred to as Adult Day Health) are designed to be far more than just a safe place to spend the day. We offer a vibrant, structured environment focused on growth, community, and wellness. Here is a closer look at what our comprehensive programs actually include.

Skill Building Through Habilitation

We believe every adult should have the opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of their abilities. A core component of our program is habilitation—training that helps individuals acquire, maintain, or improve skills for daily living. This might include hands-on cooking lessons, basic money management exercises, learning how to use technology, or participating in creative arts and crafts projects that refine fine motor skills.

Meaningful Socialization and Community

Isolation is a significant challenge for many adults with developmental disabilities. Our adult day care programs provide a crucial social outlet where individuals can form genuine friendships with peers. Through group games, shared conversations, and planned social events, participants build confidence, practice communication skills, and feel a true sense of belonging within a supportive community environment.

Health Monitoring and Personal Care Support

The "Health" in our Adult Day Health programs is a key differentiator. We provide professional oversight to ensure the physical well-being of our participants. This includes medication administration and management, monitoring of vital signs, and assistance with personal care tasks as needed. Having trained staff on-site gives caregivers peace of mind, knowing their loved one's health needs are being attended to professionally throughout the day.

Nutritious Meals and a Structured Routine

A predictable routine is comforting and beneficial for many individuals with developmental disabilities. Our programs run on a structured schedule that includes balanced, nutritious meals and snacks, ensuring participants are well-nourished and energized. This daily structure provides a sense of stability and security that is essential for overall well-being.

Our adult day care programs offer a holistic approach to care that benefits the individual participant and provides much-needed respite for caregivers. At Advanced Developmental Disabilities Services Inc, we are dedicated to creating an environment where your loved one can thrive.
