Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Services, Residential Care & Adult Day Programs
Mission: We support the quality of life for older adults and their caregivers by providing cost effective adult day service in a pleasant, supervised and safe environment.
Results: Individuals who attend an adult day care program are in a supervised setting where they are monitored for fall prevention, good nutritional/fluid intake and daily health monitoring. They participate in daily activities and interact with others so they stay socially connected. They are involved in exercises and activities that encourage range of motion and movement’ which improves their overall health. Without this program many of these individuals would be left home unsupervised which places them at risk of a fall, wandering away from home, not eating correctly, low fluid intake, lack of social stimulation and increases depression. For many this results the need to be prematurely place in a 24 hour care facility because of a lack of a community based service to help their caregivers with caregiving.
Target demographics: Older adults and their caregivers
Direct beneficiaries per year: This year… our staff provided services to 51 individuals and their caregivers totaling 35,527 hours of support
Geographic areas served: Virginia Beach and the surrounding area
Programs: cost effective adult day service in a pleasant, supervised and safe environment.
