Daytime Care for Your Loved One
Enjoy peace of mind while your loved one stays active and engaged.
Easterseals-Goodwill Adult Day Services provides a unique daytime care option for your spouse, parent, or other loved one with memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other medical or physical disabilities making it difficult for them to stay home alone safely. Participants spend the day interacting and socializing with other adults, and enjoying therapeutic activities designed to improve cognitive and physical health in a positive and relaxing environment.
This program enables family caregivers to go to work, handle personal errands and appointments, or have a break from round-the-clock caregiving. Being a caregiver is hard work, when you can take care of your own needs and have a respite from caregiving, it can improve your own health and wellbeing. It can also improve the relationship between you and the one you are caring for.
Our trained staff members engage participants throughout the day in a variety of interesting and fun activities and community outings, while providing assistance with personal care needs. Individuals can attend for all or part of a day, as many weekdays as desired.
Consider Adult Day if your loved one is facing memory loss or dementia, chronic medical conditions or physical disabilities that make being alone unsafe or lonely. Adult Day is here to help you and your loved one.

How your loved one benefits
