Adult Day Services
Do
you have a loved one who may no longer be alone during the day? Someone
who may be frail, developmentally disabled, or socially isolated? Do
you need someone to care for them while you go to work or carry out your daily
life?
Your
loved one may not be at the point of needing full-time care, but does need some
stimulation, companionship, and a little fun.
Fairview’s “A Caring Place” may be just what you are
looking for. A Caring Place is a program for adults
needing supervision during daytime hours, Monday through Friday. Our participants might be living alone or
with a caregiver. The staff and volunteers offer tireless love, care, and
assistance for all participants. In
addition, there is always some form of entertainment or program going on. Everything from the poodles who come in every
week to be petted, to arts and crafts, to bouncing giant balls with the
preschool children, to having hula dancers, musicians, and puppeteers, can be a
part of your loved ones’ day.
A Caring Place is operated by Catholic Charities,
who employs licensed, certified and degreed staff, along with volunteers, to
provide opportunities for one-on-one and group interaction. Programming is planned to maintain and improve
levels of functioning and includes health screenings, lunch, group discussion,
pet therapy, art, music, and local trips.
Participants
may be eligible for financial assistance through Medicaid Waiver, CHOICE,
Veteran’s Administration, or Catholic Charities Indianapolis.
