"It's an excellent program that is doing me a lot of good. I'm able to do things I wasn't able to do before I came to day care, like sitting up in bed and walking further distances."
-Adult Day Health Care Program Registrant
Located on the third floor of Sheehan Memorial Hospital, the Schofield Adult Day Health Care Program offers a cost effective community-based health and rehabilitative program that provides all the services of a nursing home in a day setting. Registrants must attend a minimum of five hours a day, one day a week.
The program gives individuals and their families an appropriate alternative to institutional placement. It also reduces the incidence of physician emergency room visits and hospitalizations while providing education, support and respite for family members who are caregivers.
"This program enables me to continue working and taking care of myself while I know my husband is being well taken care of. Thanks to day care, my husband has been able to live at home - not in an institution, and I'm very grateful for that."
