Keeping an elderly loved one at home as long as possible is a goal that many of us share. But having the assurance that our loved one is safe and well cared for makes Levindale Adult Day Services a feasible alternative. Our Adult Day Services are designed especially for physically frail individuals with special medical needs such as diabetes, hypertension and post-stroke disabilities, and those with mental health problems such as dementia, confusion and Alzheimer's disease. We strive to be an extension of your home environment with caring, personalized service.
We provide to you, the caregivers:
- A respite from 24 hour responsibility
- An alternative to expensive in-home care
- The ability to keep your loved one at home longer
- The assurance your loved one receives needed nursing, medical and social care.
An Individualized Care Plan
Each of our participants has a comprehensive, coordinated treatment plan that is developed in consultation with the participant's private physician. Levindale's Adult Day Services offers nursing services, medical supervision, rehabilitation services and social services, as well as special care available for both our physically handicapped and mentally impaired clients.
A Home Away from Home
While at one of Levindale’s two adult day centers, participants are free to express their special interests by joining activities involving arts and crafts, intergenerational programs, music, cooking classes, exercise sessions, movies, discussion groups, live entertainment and trips into the community. The activities program is designed to provide a high degree of socialization and encourage friendships. In addition, we offer Russian interpreters for our Russian-speaking clients.
Kosher Meals Served
A highlight of our day is mealtime. Nutritious, tasty, kosher meals are served daily and include a light breakfast, hot lunch and afternoon snack. Special meals are prepared for holidays. Holidays are always very festive occasions at Levindale's Adult Day Services. Assistance with feeding is provided as needed, and special dietary requirements can be accommodated.
Transportation Included
Levindale provides transportation services to and from its two centers from most areas in specially-equipped vans for the handicapped. These vans are also used to take clients on field trips into the community.
