Senior enrichment program
Finding a safe, affordable and active environment where older adults can enjoy their days can be challenging. This is particularly true for the estimated 5.4 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer’s disease. Desert Mission’s Adult Day Healthcare senior enrichment program gives physically and/or cognitively impaired seniors a fun and safe place where they can remain active and independent.
Operated alongside the Lincoln Learning Center, Adult Day Healthcare boasts intergenerational learning in an environment that supports social interaction and fosters independence. The program’s structured, age-appropriate activities keep older adults engaged and energized. As a result, they often can continue living at home longer, keeping families together and decreasing nursing home expenses.
Program highlights:
- Activities including guest entertainers, trips to local venues, games and more.
- On-staff registered nurse who oversee medication schedules and monitor vitals, as needed.
Support for family caregivers
For family caregivers, the program offers a reprieve from the physical and emotional tolls of caregiving. The Adult Day Healthcare program gives caregivers an opportunity to step away from their caregiving duties to focus on themselves while not having to worry about their loved one.
