Adult Day Health Services are designed for those who want to live independently in the community but have a health condition which needs regular monitoring including: diabetes, high blood pressure, or complications caused by stroke or heart attack

Our Philosophy of Care is rooted in a deep respect for the dignity and self-worth of each individual. Our programs emphasize feelings of accomplishment, self-worth and belonging. Individualized care plans recognize the unique circumstance of each participant and their family.

"Our initial visit to The Community Family impressed us - there were dedicated, caring professional staff including skilled nurses for medical needs. Days were filled with arts and crafts, bingo, gardening, music, dancing, wholesome meals and most importantly - a homelike environment where we knew Dad would be safe and cared for as if he was family" - Daughter of Community Family Client.

Adult Day Health Care is an affordable and high quality alternative to in-home care, assisted living or nursing home care. Participants spend the day in one of our three safe, friendly, home-like centers and return home in the afternoon. Family members receive peace of mind knowing that their loved one is safe and well cared for.

"Adults with Alzheimer's Disease or other memory impairment have a much better chance of retaining their skills if they use them. I recommend The Community Family because it gets elders out of the house and maintains their skills - and because they enjoy it."
