At Saint Francis Adult Day Health, we know every family has a story. Maybe your loved one has dementia and needs constant supervision. Maybe you’ve been trying to balance work with caregiving — or maybe you’re just burned out and need support you can trust. That’s where we come in.

We offer a warm, medically supported day program for older adults who need more than help at home, but don’t need full-time care. Our team of nurses, CNAs, therapists, and life enrichment staff work together to keep participants safe, engaged, and cared for—all while giving families the breathing room they need. From medication administration and help with personal care to daily meals, transportation, therapy, and joyful activities, we make every day meaningful for the people we serve. Whether you’re caring for a spouse, a parent, or a grandparent, you don’t have to do it alone. Let us be part of your story.

 
 

At Saint Francis Adult Day Health, we provide a structured, medical-model day program designed to support adults with complex health needs, while helping families maintain stability at home.

Our program is ideal for individuals who need more than companion care or adult supervision. We serve participants living with memory loss, chronic illness, physical disabilities, or cognitive challenges, offering skilled support in a safe, social setting that allows them to remain in the community.

We offer a full range of clinical and supportive services, including:

  • On-site RNs and CNAs to monitor health, administer medications, and assist with medical needs throughout the day

  • Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, toileting, ambulation, and grooming

  • Therapy services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are all available on-site

  • Social services and care coordination to help families navigate changing needs, resources, and long-term planning

  • Dementia-certified staff trained to support memory-impaired participants with passion and dignity

  • Nutritious meals and snacks, including breakfast and lunch, daily

  • Van transportation to and from the program, helping ensure regular attendance and easing family burden

  • A full calendar of life enrichment activities—from music, art, and cooking to field trips, current events, and exercise

  • Opportunities for community engagement and connection, reducing isolation and promoting emotional well-being

While participants are with us during the day, families can work, rest, or attend to other responsibilities, knowing their loved one is in a medically supported, welcoming environment. Our goal is to meet participants where they are—physically, emotionally, and socially—and help

them maintain health, function, and joy in their daily lives. Whether you’re supporting a parent with dementia or a spouse recovering from illness, we’re here to walk that journey with you.
