ARC Adult Day Services
Our goal is to ensure that physically frail or disabled seniors in our community enjoy all the services and programs available so that they may enrich their lives. To this end, we have developed a Social Adult Day Program to spark the interests and fulfill the needs of our seniors.
Educational classes
We provide a variety of classes to suit different interests. We offer weekly yoga classes as well as low-impact exercise classes. Cooking classes are conducted weekly, utilizing the information learned from the health lectures. We have daily discussion groups. Topics include current events, immigration issues, home care services, and health concerns. We also have a nutritionist who conducts classes on healthy eating.
Socialization
We provide seniors with an opportunity to meet and socialize with their peers. There are recreational games, as well as day trips to exciting locations throughout the metropolitan area.
Health Services
Our health services include regular blood pressure screenings, yearly flu shots, lectures and classes on blood pressure, diabetes, heart, nutrition, and other health topics. Our cooking class follows the information given by the professionals regarding healthy eating.
Resources
Our case workers are always available to help seniors with entitlements, benefits, family concerns and telephone reassurance.
Transportation
We provide door-to-door transportation to all of our programs. Escort services are offered for medical appointments for those seniors who are unable to travel on their own and who have no one to assist them. We can assist you to arrange transportation with the WHIST transportation service or you can make arrangements directly with them. See our
