Springfield Hospital
Springfield Area Adult Day Service offers an affordable program that participants refer to as “A Home Away from Home.” We help adults over the age of 18 facing the challenges associated with aging and disability, frailty, isolation, and physical or cognitive impairment. We offer a cost-effective program. Our program includes a variety of health, social, and supportive services to help participants enhance wellness and maintain independence.
Recreational and Outdoor Activities: A wide array of interesting, fun, and therapeutic activities creates opportunities for social interaction, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. A change of scenery in a safe, supportive, and comfortable outdoor patio allows participants to enjoy activities on a warm day. The facility is secure for people with Alzheimer’s and includes secured doors and a fenced-in outdoor space.
Nutritious Meal: A nutritious and appetizing lunch is served at noon. We have licensed staff available to assist those who have dietary restrictions or difficulty eating.
Personal Care: Personal care services, including bathing, hairdressing, nail care, and shaving, are available. Additional services such as rehabilitation and podiatry can be arranged as needed.
Transportation: Door-to-door pick-up and drop-off is provided within our service area. Springfield Area Adult Day Service works with local transportation services to provide fully-equipped, handicapped-accessible vans operated by trained, courteous drivers who take the time to get to know each participant.
Nursing Oversight: We provide skilled nursing oversight for health and wellness, including chronic disease and medication management.
Social Services: The center also offers outreach services with community agencies to coordinate care.
Financial Assistance: Programs are available offering caregivers the opportunity to receive an assortment of needed, cost-effective services. If you have questions regarding financial assistance that may be available, Springfield Area Adult Day Service staff can consult with you regarding eligibility for financial assistance.
