The Adult
Day Health Care Program is a state-licensed program that provides
our participants with a safe and stimulating environment, while
offering caregivers respite from the continual responsibility
of providing for loved ones who may be losing the capability to
care for themselves. Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) services provide
community-based care, which often helps in delaying a premature
placement in an institutional care setting.
Participants who attend ADHC are coping with such disabilities
as Parkinson’s disease, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease
or other cognitive impairments, cardiac or respiratory illness,
mental or emotional impairment and isolation/loneliness. The program
assists adults of all ages.
Staff includes licensed nurses and health aides and an Activity Specialist,
who plans the daily activities. Our participants enjoy a variety
of individual and group activities, including, exercise, entertainment,
monthly theme parties, and field trips. The nursing staff administers
medications, evaluates medical conditions, and provides consultations,
and a Health Aide assists with the personal care.
The
Adult Day Health Care Center is a fee for service program. However,
Casa de Esperanza does not deny services due to an inability to
pay. Currently we have contracts with Pima Health System, Veterans
Administration, and COPE to supplement the costs for those who
qualify. Casa provides some scholarships to individuals who cannot
afford the care, and are not eligible under the above contracts.
The program is operated Monday – Friday 9:00 – 4:00. An individual may attend for
the full day or partial day. Transportation is available to and
from the program utilizing our wheelchair accessible vans.
ADHC fees:
Monday - Friday $55/day
Transportation - $6.00 each way
