Everyone is familiar with the concept of day care for children…but what about day care for adults? Many people who care for their senior family members on a daily basis are not even aware that such programs exist. Adult day care services provide families with the necessary support so that a loved one can continue to live at home.

An integral part of family success and happiness is the well-being of senior family members. Through adult day care services, assistance is provided to encourage activities of daily living, promote mental alertness and social interaction as well as physical flexibility, personal grooming and nutrition.

Adult day care centers provide recreational therapy for loved ones who do not require round-the-clock nursing care, yet cannot be left alone during the day. This service allows a caregiver time to rest and/or run errands while enjoying the peace of mind that their loved one is being taken care of in a comfortable, nurturing atmosphere.

In keeping with its mission to provide a full range of services to their clients, Nightingale Home Healthcare in Indiana offers Nightingale's Nest, an Adult Day Care Center, where caregivers can leave home assured that their loved one is having a productive day by socializing in a safe and healthy environment.

Most adult day care centers offer structured and comprehensive programs, nutritious home cooked meals and snacks, flexibility with scheduling, enhanced daily living skills and opportunities for community involvement. In addition, staff members also monitor your loved one's daily health needs.
