Many older adults prefer to remain in their own homes as their years advance—referred to as aging in place. However, many persons are faced with losing a degree of their independence because of age-related physical or cognitive impairments or chronic health conditions. For these individuals, adult day services (ADS) might be an ideal alternative to congregate residential care such as assisted living and nursing homes.
“We know of adult children who rearranged their lives, given up their jobs, and moved long distances rather than putting their parent in a skilled nursing home. They felt that there was nothing else they could do,” says Jan Nestler, founder/retired CEO of Elder and Adult Day Services, www.eads-cares.org, in Bellevue, Washington. “Adult day services is an ideal option for those in the situation where their loved one is unsafe or unsure of being left alone.

We particularly address the isolation and socialization challenges that many seniors experience.”
