Adult Day Care Center: A Case Study

Thank you for contacting the Governor’s Advocacy Office regarding if the ERDC program can cover daycare costs while someone is looking/interviewing for potential jobs.

While it’s not the easiest thing to think about, there are a great deal of important decisions that need to be made when considering senior care for yourself or a loved one. One option, assisted living, allows the senior to remain at home, while getting assistance with daily activities and essentials and the companionship of a caring individual. Visiting Angels in Forty Fort, a local branch of a national network of senior home care services providers that serve Luzerne County, PA, provides exactly this kind of non-medical support and care, and the experts there note that there are a number of things you need to keep in mind as you look at your options.

You are a seventy-eight-year-old man or woman. You live alone, but still in the same house you have lived in for the past fifty years. Even though, in your opinion, you feel healthy and think you can take care of yourself, you have noticed that your mind just is not what it used to be. After going to the doctor for your annual checkup, your doctor tells you that you have the early signs of a disease called Alzheimer’s. The doctor thinks that it would be best for you to move into a long-term care facility. You do not want to leave your home, but you also know that your family is very busy with their own lives, and you do not want to be such a burden to them. That is when you hear about something called an adult day center. Adult daycare centers are a place where older adults have a safe and stimulating place to go during the day. This helps delay moving into a long-term care facility by allowing the client to live in their own home where they may be happier than if they were “forced” to move in to a long-term care facility. The option of adult day centers is one that is growing in popularity, but is still mostly unheard of to older adults as a whole, unless they specifically ask about it.

Beverly is a 58-year-old, black female who currently lives with her daughter and previously with her daughter's boyfriend. He caused her intense stress and anxiety which is the reason she began therapy. One evening there was an altercation between Beverly, her daughter, and the boyfriend where Beverly ended up going to jail for several days. Eventually the charges were dropped, and the boyfriend left the home for good. Having the boyfriend gone has alleviated one stressor, but client is now dealing with the trauma of having been incarcerated and lack of finances, because she lost her in-home care income. Client has been resilient throughout her life. She was molested as a child, came out as a lesbian to her mother and sister who didn’t approve

The creation of Long-term care facilities transpired back in the early centuries as a shelter for the aging population. Compared to as very similar to the types of long-term care facilities we have today, those who resided in these homes were aging, had no homes of their own, or had disabilities that prevented them living on their own.

during each stage of life all individuals will need some care needs that should be fulfilled. care needs depends on the age of an individuals. in infancy as soon as a child is born he needs 24hours of attention and all sort of support in feeding, dressing, etc. during childhood they have learn to be independent but are still dependent in some of their day-to-day care needs, and during adolescence they become more independent but do need require a secure environment, they do things by themselves and need support and advice about relationship and emotional also needs encouragement and appreciation. at the age of adulthood social activities become important for them and may need help with their physical needs, may also need encouragement, emotional

People who are aging need support from those around them to assist them to enjoy the last years of their lives. It may not be possible for people who have aging loved ones to take care of their needs because of the care for their own immediate families and probably busy schedules all around. There are many ways to assist their loved ones to get convenient services to take adequate care of their needs. It is good to employ the services of an Adult day care center where there will be adequate care for their needs. The adult day care service is provides assistance to the aging who desire people to be around them to help them with any assistance during the daytime in an active facility

Owning a day care is very expensive especially in the beginning. I never operated any of my day cares as a 24-hour day care for that reason. It seems like you never get ahead because the operation cost eats up your profits. I am glad to hear that you will like to open a day care to ease the struggles that parents face daily. Preparing financial statements and balancing balance sheets are challenges that I do not handle. I know a little of what to do but it will take me a long time to complete. It’s less stressful having someone more qualified to do the job for me, but review all forms and sign all checks. There is enough for me to do by day cares already having a lot of new rules and regulations to follow especially since everything is being

A capital budgeting decision does not come easy to an organization when it involves spending a lot of money, for non-profit organization this decision can be even harsher. I have two examples recently that I have worked with over the past 2 years. The Administrator and the Broad of Directors needed to make a decision on whether or not it would be a good investment to build and Adult Day Center within our organization, the other they had to inquire was a good financial decision to remodel a 40 plus year health facility.

The place where this case study occurred was in a nearby senior care facility. I was to do the worship service with communion for the residents. The church I pastor is responsible for two senior care facilities and they alternate each week. Because of my schedule I do not do the services on any regular basis. I was off for reading week from school so I could volunteer. There are a few women who go to the facility. One of the women used to come to our church. She told my senior pastor that she did not like my being a pastor so she stopped coming. She also attends the pastors Bible study occasionally.

Some questions that go through the minds of people planning to retire are very stressing to them. A majority of people do not know what they will do. Many people plan to do volunteer work while others plan to devote more time to hobbies or special interest (Rathus, 2015). Another question they ask themselves is, “How will I afford it?” Pensions have been declining lately, layoffs have been rising, and property values have been falling, so many of the older employees have to postpone their plans for retirement or do not even retire (Rathus, 2015). Also, many never know where they will live. Many retirees stay where they already live but as time goes on they become less physically independent, and may need to live in assisted facilities or with one of their children (Rathus, 2015).

Every day people get older. As people age they begin to struggle to take care of themselves. One reason people end up in nursing homes or assisted living is because houses aren't designed to be elderly friendly. Nobody wants to leave the comfort of their house for assisted living or nursing homes. Going into nursing homes or assisted living takes away the ability to feel like they are still home. Nursing homes and assisted living limits what the person can have in their rooms, which leaves the person feeling as though they won’t ever be in the comfort of their own home again. Not only do the people not feel at home but they aren’t as safe as they would be at home. Today people are mean and mistreat other people, especially those who can’t take care of themselves. To solve the issue of aging in place, designers need to find a way to meet the person’s present needs and think ahead to

Our center has a detailed emergency plan and we review it every six months unless a situation arises in between. There is a reminder at the top of my calendar so that we don’t forget to check and be sure if something needs to be changed. The chain of command does change if I am not present and it is listed step by step so the aide knows what to do. There is also a list of community resources in case we need to evacuate for any reason.

Taking care of elderly or disabled family members is a frustrating affair for many people. Of course, they would like to provide the best care possible for their family member. However, their other duties get in the way. They have to work or take care of other duties. Thus, making it very difficult to supply the type of care required by that family member. Fortunately, help is available. We are a professional Home Care service that provides quality care or in home care for seniors and disabled members of the family.

Northville’s significant change in the composition of its municipal work force of 1,800 employees prompted city official to open up a new day care center for the children of city employees. The day care has been a great success. The city had provided the facilities and taken care of utilities for the City’s Tiny Tots Day Care center for the past eight months, and will continue to do so until the end of the year. The initial budget was accurate; however there are some adjustments that need to be made for 2015. Assumptions and Parameters are described in Attchment A-1 of the Excel workbook.
