Our Goals
The intent of our services is to provide a method for participants to use their time meaningfully during each day. Building upon the supportive environment offered within an individual or group setting, the Adult Day Services Program works toward the following general goals:
- To promote the individual’s maximum level of independence.
- To maintain the individual’s present level of functioning – preventing or delaying further decline.
- To restore and rehabilitate the individual to his/her highest possible level of functioning.
- To provide support and respite for families and other caregivers.
- To foster socialization and peer interaction.
- To serve as an integral part of the community service network and the healthy continuum of care.
