ADULT DAY CARE COMING IN JUNE TO BROOKSIDE LANDING

Brookside Landing will open an Adult Day Care beginning with an Open House on Tuesday, June 2^nd from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.  Adult Day Care is a planned program of activities designed to promote the well being through social and health related services. Family members and caregivers who have a senior they care for at their home would benefit from the respite of the 24 hour responsibility by dropping their loved one off for half day or full day while they take the opportunity to enjoy guilt free personal time or to take care of personal needs such as doctors appointments, banking, etc.

The Brookside Landing Adult Day Care is a safe, supportive, cheerful environment beneficial for seniors who are physically frail, have cognitive issues such as dementia, confusion and Alzheimers disease or who have special medical needs during the day.  Adult day care allows eligible individuals the chance to socialize and build new friendships or to renew old ones while receiving assistance with the activities of daily living. 

The Brookside Landing Adult Day Care Program schedules activities throughout the day either one on one with the client, as a part of the Brookside Landing regularly scheduled activity or as a group program within the Adult Day Care participating clients.  While the client is at Brookside, personal care givers will assist with basic needs such as toileting, mobility, medication reminders and even staff assisted showers if signed up in plenty of time. 

Open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Morning Session (9:00 am to 1:00 pm) includes lunch in the fee.  Our Afternoon Session (1:30 pm to 5:30 pm) includes a mid day snack.  For those interested in the Full Day Program (9:00 am to 5:30 pm) lunch and mid day snack are served. Showers can be scheduled for an extra charge one hour before program opening or one hour after.

Pre-Admission assessments are required prior to enrollment in the Brookside Landing Adult Day Care.  For more information or to scheduled an assessment please call 476-2000 or come to the Open House on June 2^nd. Some restrictions apply to admission and showers.
