Nursing homes, assisted living, and adult family homes are traditional options for senior-aged adults who can no longer live by themselves in their own homes. These all require the senior adult to live in an institutional setting. Living in an institution can be an isolating experience and is expensive.
With the rising aging population, more creative options are needed to care for them. Some families are choosing to keep their aging loved ones at home. There are many advantages to this option, but the disadvantages include caregiver burnout. Caregivers need a break!
In Home Adult Daycare are a viable option for some elderly adults. They are not institutions; they are in private residences, just like a children’s daycare. One important aspect is that In Home Adult Daycare is non-medical and focused on activities and socialization. Services, such as meals, skill-appropriate crafts, and companionship are provided while the family is working or attending to other needs, such as taking a well-earned bubble bath. In Home Adult Daycare allow the senior and their families to live together longer by decreasing caregiver burnout and can lead to healthier and happier lives for all involved.
When my husband was diagnosed with dementia, he needed constant supervision. I did not want to place him in an institutional setting. I had to make a plan and go on living. I began to research home-based businesses so that I could take care of him myself in our own home. Realizing that there
were other families out there in my predicament, I started the first in home adult daycare in Washington State in 1995. We look forward to helping you get through the same season of life that I had to navigate. We can help you figure out how daycare could give you the support you need.
