What ARE Adult Day Services?

Adult Day Services are non-residential facilities such as the Mercy Family Center that provide a protective environment, personal care and recreational activities to persons who cannot remain safely at home or who are isolated at home alone. Candidates for Adult Day Services include persons who:

  • Can no longer complete their daily self-care activities independently
  • Cannot remain at home alone safely
  • Are isolated and desire companionship 

ADULT DAY SERVICES

Our goal is for you to have a great day every day!
