Saturday Adult Day Respite Program

Adult day care services provide care for older adults who are physically impaired or mentally confused who require increased supervision. In addition, adult day care programs provide social, recreational and health activities. This service is an ideal for families and friends who provide ongoing care to older adults and need a break from their daily caregiving responsibilities.

Christiana Care's Evergreen Center I offers caregivers some time off from caring through a Saturday Adult Day Care program. The new program accommodates frail elderly, 60 years of age or older, who are: 1) cognitively or mentally impaired; or 2) are unable to perform two activities of daily living (dressing, toileting, bathing, eating) without the assistance of another person.

This program is provided two Saturdays per month from the hours of 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Activities include music, arts & crafts, exercise programs, word games and outdoor time. Clients receive a light breakfast, noon meal, and afternoon snack. Transportation to and from the Evergreen Center I is available through DART Paratransit. The Evergreen Program Director can assist caregivers with applications to DART, if other modes of transportation are unavailable.
