Jennings recognizes adult day services week

Did you know that there are approximately 53 million family caregivers providing care to a loved one in the United States? (John A. Hartford Foundation) Of the many choices available, adult day services support family caregivers and give peace of mind while helping an individual to stay at home.

"Adult day services support families by providing an active and safe space for a loved one, especially those living with Alzheimer's Disease or other cognitive challenges," explains Kathy LiPuma, Director of Adult Day Services at Jennings. "Family members can go to work, attend to other responsibilities or simply recharge. Meanwhile, the older adult spends an engaging day with their peers in a caring environment."

Adult day services provide a good balance of activities, social stimulation, personal care and access to medical care in an environment where they are safe. Activities vary throughout the day for social, physical and cognitive stimulation and can be customized to individual interests as much as possible. Adult day center participants also attend campus events, such as concerts, speakers and intergenerational programs.Adult day services also work hand in hand with home care. Where adult day services provide social stimulation and access to care, home care provides one on one support that for times like evenings and on weekends. Combining these services can help family members customize a solution that best supports them while also making their best plan financially.
