WHO ATTENDS ADC?

We are a program for individuals 18 years and older who have social, physical, mental, or emotional limitations and who require assistance and supervision in daily living. (Disabilities might include such conditions as strokes, heart problems, mobility difficulties, Parkinson's, social isolation, or early to middle stages of dementia [Alzheimer's Disease], etc.). Mobility may range from unassisted walking to wheelchair use. Our staff is prepared to assist individuals who need help with eating, walking or use of the bathroom...always promoting appropriate independence and preserving dignity. Basic health care monitoring, such as bi-weekly blood pressure checks, monthly weights are routinely done. Prescribed medications will be given according to physicians' orders under direct supervision of a registered nurse or designated staff member. Applicants are not accepted, and participants may be discharged for the following reasons:

• persistent disruptive behavior by participant or a family member;
• need for physical care beyond the capabilities of our program. No one is excluded from the program on basis of race, religion, or national origin.

MISSION STATEMENT

All adults are worthy of respect and deserve to be valued regardless of financial circumstances, physical, emotional, social or mental impairment. We, at Adult Day Care, encourage, laugh with, support and protect frail, elderly, impaired adults and their families with structured activities, nurturing relationships and professional care of body, mind and spirit.

WHAT IS "ADULT DAY CARE OF RICHMOND?"

"Adult Day Care of Richmond" was established in 1987. We are a "not for profit" service that is governed by a board of directors and administered by Director Beverly Garnet, R.N. We are funded through Social Service Block Grants, donations/memorials from community members and businesses, and participant fees. We offer a structured, comprehensive program that provides a variety of social programming and health support in a protective setting during the daytime hours.

WHAT ARE OUR MAJOR GOALS?

ADC of Richmond has two primary goals directed toward enrichment of the lives of participants and their families:

1. to enhance and/or maintain the functioning level (physical, social, emotional and cognitive) of participants on an individual basis in accordance with orders from the physician, and
2. to provide a safe environment for the participant and respite for family/care givers.

WHAT ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE?

Socialization and interaction with peers along with mental and physical stimulation are achieved through such activities as discussions, exercises, arts and crafts, reminiscence time, games, sing-a-longs, field trips, etc. All activities are experienced in a structured and "failure safe" environment...we program for success, not frustration or failure! A hot nutritious lunch and afternoon snack are provided.

HOW IS ADC STAFFED?

In addition to our Director, our staff consists of registered nurses (Carolyn MacDowell, RN, and Marion Napier, RN), a certified activity director (Cathy Witte), certified nursing assistants, program aides and various support staff and volunteers.

WHEN IS THE DAY CENTER OPEN?

We are open Monday through Friday - normally from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., but extended hours may be arranged. The majority of planned activities take place from 10:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Most participants attend our program at least two days a week, and many attend every day.

TRANSPORTATION?

Transportation, for many participants, can be provided, at not additional charge, by our handicap-accessible vans - or families may prefer to provide transportation on their own schedule. Also, for a minimum charge, transportation can be arranged from the center to physical, etc. appointments away from the center.
