Gilcrest Adult Daycare

Gilcrest Adult Day Service is designed to provide care and companionship for adults who need assistance or supervision during the day. The program offers relief to family members or caregivers and allows them the freedom to go to work, handle personal business or just relax while knowing their relative is well cared for and safe. The goal of the program is to delay or prevent institutionalization by providing alternative care, while enhancing self-esteem and encouraging socialization.

Who can benefit?

The following case study is an example of an adult who may need adult day services, both for his own well being and that of his family caregivers: Tim is 69 years old and recently suffered a stroke. He needs some care and supervision so he lives with his son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Sara. However, because Bob and Sara both work, they need help to care for Tim during the day. They found a solution to their problem by having Sara drop off Tim at the local adult day care center in the morning, and having Bob pick him up when he gets off work in the evening. The center monitors Tim’s medications and provides him lunch while socializing with other adults, as well as, having him participates in physical therapy.
