Adult Day Center FAQs
-
Can I visit the Atlantic Adult Day Center and learn more?
-
Yes. To schedule a visit and learn more about the benefits of adult day services, call 908-766-2310. We are open Monday-Friday from 8:00am-4:30pm, and conveniently located at 200 Mt. Airy Road near I-287 and I-78 in Basking Ridge, NJ.
-
How do I enroll my loved one in the program?
-
Give us a call and we will arrange your initial visit. At this meeting, we acquire health and background information that helps determine if the prospective member would benefit from our program. As part of the enrollment process, we have the prospective member join in the morning activity while we talk with their caregiver. This is a free service and without any obligations.
-
I work part-time. Can my parent attend only on the days that I am working?
-
Although we are open from 8:00am to 4:30pm, we encourage members to be present at least from 10:00am to 3:00pm. This is when our formal programming takes place.
-
What are some indications that adult day services might be appropriate for my loved one?
-
If your loved one exhibits any of the following, there might be concern for their isolation and/or safety at home, and could benefit from our supervised, group setting:
- Not eating well or forgetting to eat
- Doesn’t socialize any longer
- Sleeps most of the day, minimal movement
- Showing signs of short-term memory loss and confusion
-
Can my loved one still take medications while at the Center?
-
Yes. We will provide medication reminders to the member during the program. Members can bring medications for the day. The medication must be in a non-expired container from the pharmacy exactly marked with the medication inside.
-
Is financial assistance available for adult day care services?
-
Financial assistance may be available through the County Respite Program and the New Jersey Adult Day Services Program for Persons with Alzheimer’s Disease or Related Dementia
