If a loved one is living with a disability, you may be looking for an adult day care center for assistance. Before choosing one, however, make sure you thoroughly vet your options, as you want to select a facility with the services to meet their needs.  

Essential qualities to seek include the following:

  • Adult-Day-CareActivities: Adult day services shouldn’t merely be about watching over a person. The center should plan stimulating activities to ensure fun, exciting experiences throughout the day.

  • Testimonials: Ask to see testimonials from former clients. While the experience your loved one has with the adult day care center will be unique, learning what other people have to say about a given option will make you more confident in your decision.

  • Compassion: Try to meet with the staff before finalizing anything. Many facilities will advertise their compassionate staff—if you have the chance to interact with them directly, though, you can get a better sense for how caring and professional they truly are.

  • Staff to Client Ratio: Look for a care facility that exceeds state standards for the staff to client ratio. Such facilities are more likely to give your loved one the personal attention they require.

  • Menu: It’s a practical concern, but one that’s easy to overlook: the food menu. Make sure the facility serves nutritious meals that match your loved one’s tastes and dietary needs.

Some family members or friends with a disability may benefit from quality, compassionate care throughout the day. The process of finding the ideal adult day care service is made a little easier when minding the above qualities.
