Senior Services
Adult Day Care

Since 1982, our Adult Day Care Center has provided social, recreational, and rehabilitative services for medically disabled adults. At Holy Cross, we know that sometimes seniors with debilitating health conditions or physical limitations can get very lonely and long for an outlet for social interaction. At the Adult Day Care Center, our goal is to offer an environment that encourages growth and development by stimulating and challenging local seniors of all ages.

By allowing seniors to maintain the independence of living at home, yet getting away during the day to a structured, senior-focused activity center, the Adult Care Center is a cost-effective alternative to relocating seniors to residential care. We foster a tight-knit community atmosphere by celebrating and acknowledging each senior’s unique skills and contributions to our group.

The Adult Care Center welcomes all seniors, at any age and with any ailment, to join our program. Our center frequently serves seniors recovering from or coping with conditions like stroke, depression, neurological disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and diabetes.

Adult Day Care Activities
Staffed with professional, caring health care professionals, our Adult Day Care Center has organized a dynamic program of stimulating activities with opportunities to learn together.

Some of our activities include:

• Group discussions on a wide range of subjects
• Daily exercise program both for maintaining wellness and for therapeutic purposes
• Entertainment, including a variety of musical presentations, art and reminiscing groups and comedy programs
• Guest speakers from community organizations
• Health awareness talks
• Organized games of bridge, bingo, cards, and trivia, as well as lively team events.

Nursing Services
At the Adult Day Care Center, seniors enjoy daily activities with confidence that a registered nurse (RN) is on-site to supervise participants’ health.

The center’s RN provides the following services:

• Administer medications
• Arrange laboratory and podiatry services
• Assist with eating and using the restroom
• Blood-pressure monitoring
• Health counseling
• Periodically review individual health needs
• Monitor individual weight and diet.

Daily Meals
The Montgomery County Senior Nutrition Program provides hot meals at the Adult Day Care Center. Special dietary concerns are discussed with our registered nurse and many diet limitations are easily accommodated.

Try Us Out for Free
To ensure that the Adult Day Care Center is the right place for every person involved, potential participants spend two days with us at no charge before formally enrolling in the program. This trial period gives potential participants and caregivers a chance to interact with staff and other participants and to see what our center offers.

This also allows both parties the opportunity to conduct a needs assessment and compare that with the center’s capabilities. References are available upon request. Reduced rates and scholarships are available for qualifying participants.
