Adult Day Centers
Keeping an elderly loved one at home for as long as possible is a goal that many of us share. Giving caregivers some much needed time to work or run errands while being assured that your loved one is safe and well cared for is where Levindale Adult Day Services comes in.
Our Adult Day Services are designed especially for physically frail individuals with special medical needs such as diabetes, hypertension and post-stroke disabilities, and those with mental health problems such as dementia, confusion and Alzheimer's disease. We strive to be an extension of your home environment with caring, personalized service.
We provide to you, the caregivers:
- A respite from 24 hour responsibility
- An alternative to expensive in-home care
- The ability to keep your loved one at home longer
- The assurance your loved one receives needed nursing, medical and social care.
An Individualized Care Plan
Each of participants has his or her own comprehensive, coordinated treatment plan, developed in consultation with the participant's private physician. Nursing services, medical supervision, rehabilitation services and social services can all be coordinated, and special care is available for both physically handicapped and mentally impaired clients.
Professional nursing is a strong component of this program. All medication is supervised, and is provided to help maintain diabetic compliance. Vital signs such as blood pressure are monitored, treatments are performed and many other nursing services are available. Personal assistance, including bathing and toileting, is given to participants as needed.
Rehabilitation services can be arranged through Sinai's outpatient rehabilitation program, and participants are fortunate to have the medical support of Sinai Hospital and Northwest Hospital Center, both members of LifeBridge Health.
The staff can schedule and provide transportation to physician and other therapeutic appointments.
A Full Recreation Program
Well-trained activity specialists lead dynamic activities programs. Arts and crafts, intergenerational programs, music, cooking classes, exercise sessions, movies, discussion groups, live entertainment and trips into the community suit each participant's special interests.
The activities program is designed to provide a high degree of socialization and encourage friendships. A stimulating and fun-filled environment provides the best quality of life possible for Levindale Adult Day Services participants.
Kosher Meals Served
A highlight of the day is mealtime. Nutritious, tasty, kosher meals are served daily including a light breakfast, hot lunch and afternoon snack. Special meals are prepared for holidays. Holidays are always very festive occasions at Levindale Adult Day Services. Assistance with feeding is provided as needed, and special dietary requirements can be accommodated.
Transportation
Levindale provides transportation services to and from its two centers from most areas in specially equipped vans for the handicapped. These vans are also used to take clients on field trips into the community.
