BENEFITS OF ADULT DAY CARE
Adult day care offers a win/win situation for everyone in the family—not only the client who attends the program, but also the family member who is the caregiver. When you bring your loved one to The Ivey, you get your life back. These are some of the benefits you’ll realize:
- a much-needed respite and break from the physical demands and stress of providing round-the-clock care
- time for yourself and your career
- a chance to rest, rejuvenate, prevent burnout
- education
- caregiver support
- and the opportunity to live longer (did you know caregivers get sick more often and live shorter lives because of the stress of care giving?)
Here’s what your loved one can enjoy:
- a safe, secure environment in which to spend the day
- enjoyable and educational activities
- nutritious meals and snacks
- improvement in mental and physical health
- enhanced or maintained level of independence
- socialization and peer support
Services such as The Ivey can be a godsend for those whose lives are being worn down by the challenges of caring for a loved one living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other long-term conditions. Giving yourself a break and your loved one this chance for socialization in this beautiful setting may be the best thing you’ve ever done—for both of you.
The Ivey is the best solution for caregivers facing the challenges you must deal with every day. Allow us to help you and your loved one.
