ADULT DAY PROGRAMS HELP SENIORS LIVE AT HOME LONGER
When your older adult can’t safely be alone all day on their own or if they feel lonely or isolated, consider enrolling them in an adult day program.
Adult day programs can help an older adult remain at home longer – delaying the need to move to assisted living.
They also allow seniors to socialize while getting the care they need.
Day programs are also a great way for caregivers to get much-needed breaks to reduce stress and prevent burn out so your own health doesn’t significantly decline while care giving.
They can be especially helpful if you work full-time outside of the home and your older adult needs affordable care during the day.
