PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT FOR 
FAMILY CAREGIVERS
Holy Family Adult Day Care offers organized daytime support services to the elderly and the disabled. In filling the needs of the caretaker or family of the loved one, adult day care allows the individual to remain at home, or the home of a relative while receiving services at the Center.

A committed team of professionals provides stimulating social and activity programs, therapeutic care, and support services. Programs meet the special needs of older adults who have Alzheimer's Disease, or who have had a stroke and need supervision but not nursing home care.
