Center for Gerontology

Growing older sometimes presents special problems. Physical changes may make everyday activities difficult to accomplish. Memory loss, and the problems it poses, can cause confusion and fear for both the older adult and their family members. The sadness felt with multiple losses of friends, family or routine abilities often cause depression.

The Center for Gerontology’s mission is to identify and support the needs of our area’s older adults and their caregivers. We offer assistance to the older adult in a caring, compassionate setting, treating each as an individual with unique needs and wants. Services provided by the Center include:

• Adult Day Care
• Caregiver Support Group
• Community Education
• Information and Referral
• Transportation

Adult Day Care
Adults with special needs can enjoy a pleasant, supervised environment designed to enrich their daily lives and help them live as independently as possible. Adult day care provides help for families and caregivers responsible for adults who cannot be left home during the day.

Plans for care are uniquely developed for each participant and may include the following services:

• Health monitoring
• Group and individual activities
• Personal care
• Supervision
• Nutrition
• Exercise
• Education counseling
• Medical and social services as needed

Day care participants include adults who are socially inactive or isolated, in need of personal care assistance, are confused or have experienced memory loss or have physical limitations that prevent independent living.

The program is very flexible, with care ranging from only a couple of hours a day to five days a week. Hourly and daily rates are available.

Transportation
The Center for Gerontology provides modern, comfortable buses equipped to handle the needs of all our participants, including those in wheelchairs. In addition to transporting participants to the Center and returning them home, our drivers also take participants to doctor's appointments, as well as other outings during the day.
