WHO ATTENDS ADC?
We are a program for individuals 18 years and older who have social, physical, mental, or emotional limitations and who require assistance and supervision in daily living. All participants must be under the care of a physician. A negative chest x-ray (within six months of admission) is required. Approximately 40% of participants have an admitting diagnosis of Alzheimers or related dementia.
Disabilities might include such conditions as strokes, heart problems, mobility difficulties, Parkinsons, social isolation, Downs Syndrome, cerebral palsy, depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or early to middle stages of dementia (Alzheimers Disease).
Mobility may range from unassisted walking to wheelchair use. Our staff is prepared to assist individuals who need help with eating, walking or use of the bathroom always promoting appropriate independence and preserving dignity. Basic health monitoring such as weekly blood pressure checks, monthly weights are routinely done. Prescribed medications will be given according to physicians orders under direct supervision of a registered nurse or designated professional staff member.
