Adult Day Care

If you have a senior loved one still living in the privacy and comfort of their own home yet who would benefit tremendously from socialization and care during the day to eliminate isolation and worry, Bethesda may have the perfect program for you.

Bethesda Adult Day Care is a flexible care option (full-day and half-day options available) that helps family members and caregivers take a much-deserved break or tend to other family obligations. Our services manage the basic medical needs of seniors while helping to improve their health and well-being through social and recreational activities.

With two locations in the metropolitan St. Louis area (South County and the Kirkwood/Webster area), Adult Day Care participants are assisted by experienced staff who monitor their daily health needs, manage medications and make sure nutritional needs are met.

Not certain if Adult Day Care is the right solution for you? Here are some questions that may assist you in your decision:

• Do you need occasional assistance with taking care of your loved one?
• Are you worried about his/her safety when you cannot be around?
• Are you leaving your loved one alone too frequently in order to work or run errands?
• Do you find that you are taking off more time from work to care for your loved one?
• Would you feel better if he/she was able to enjoy a nutritious meal during the day, the opportunity to socialize more or to get more exercise?
• Has a good relationship with your loved one turned into a troubled one? Are arguments increasing?

Adult Day Care promotes the individual’s maximum level of independence and maintains the individual’s present level of functioning as long as possible, preventing or delaying further deterioration. Feelings of guilt may be an initial reaction for you, the caregiver, but remember that you need time to care for you, to be able to work without worrying about how your loved one is managing, and time to relax and regroup, so that when you are providing care you are at your best.

Our interactive and caring environment helps strengthen minds, bodies, and spirits.  Whether participating in an energizing exercise class, creating works of art or playing cards with friends, every day is a unique and fulfilling experience.

Bethesda’s Adult Day Care programs continue to grow almost exclusively through reputation and through loyal clients who express high satisfaction with the consistency of care they receive. Our staff welcomes the opportunity for you to experience the Bethesda difference for yourself.
