• • It is common for seniors to forget to take medications or take additional doses because they don’t remember taking it the first time. Either way, the consequences of improper usage is very serious and life-threatening. For seniors who need help to monitor medications, adult day care can ensure that no bad consequences will happen to those with improper usage.
  • Proper amounts of nutrition consumed is critical to a senior’s health. Eating a well-balanced diet can help seniors maintain a healthy weight and stay energized which lowers the risk of developing chronic health conditions.

• • Living alone at home all day without supervision is not safe for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or any other medical disabilities. Adult day care centers can ensure that anyone with these disabilities can receive the best quality care with highly trained staff on site.
  • For participants who need chronic care management, adult day care centers will offer observation, health monitoring, therapeutic diets, personal care (including bathing), medication administration, and assistance with mobility (wheelchairs).

• • Lynn Hampstead, 78, attends adult day care as a way to meet up with friends and peers for social engagement. “I was lonely at home all day while my daughter’s family was out. They went to work and school, and I just sat there without much to do.” Lynn admits that when her daughter first suggested the idea, she was reluctant. However after going to adult day care for some time, she now enjoys spending time with her new peers and getting out of the house.

• • For those like Lynn, feelings of isolation can lead to loneliness and eventually depression. Over time, long-term depression can also cause other health complications. Routinely scheduled activity even as little as two or three times a week gives participants something to look forward to and help prevent feelings of loneliness and depression.
