Welcome to the Care Club Adult Day Care Revolution! 

We've redefined adult day care.

It's not uncommon for caregivers and senior citizens alike to struggle with the perception of adult day care facilities being cold, impersonal and lonely institutions. Care Clubs demonstrate what adult day care should be. Care Club Adult Day Care Centers have started a revolution by fundamentally changing expectations – by shattering stereotypes – and replacing them with an environment which provides our members with an upscale, high quality experience.

Care Club members have exclusive access to a warm and inviting clubhouse atmosphere designed with socialization, relaxation, and comfort in mind. A friendly and carefree environment lends itself perfectly to enjoying supervised group activities or indulging in "a la carte" service options. Several new senior day care centers will be open soon in the St. Charles and St. Louis area.

What is Adult Day Care?

Adult day care is a generic term that applies to a variety of programs offering services that range from active rehabilitation to social and health-related care. Various terminologies are applied: day care, day treatment, day health care, and psychiatric day treatment, partial hospitalization and day hospital care. Adult day care is coordinated with, and relates to other agencies and services and institutional and hospital care. It is an innovative way to organize and blend traditional health and social services for the disabled adult.

Adult day care is a community-based service which:

• helps mentally or physically impaired adults to maintain or improve their level of functioning, in order to remain in the community
• offers members the opportunity to socialize, enjoy peer support, and receive medical and social services in a stimulating and supportive environment that promotes better physical and mental health
• provides assistance to families and caregivers who have responsibility for an impaired older adult who cannot be left alone during the day and yet who does not require 24-hour nursing care in an institution
• helps to prevent the inappropriate placement or premature institutionalization of older impaired adults
• helps older impaired adults who live alone and need supportive services to improve or maintain their level of independence

Why Adult Day Care?

The increasing number of people who live to advanced years and whose functional levels are impaired has created a need for a broad range of community-based services to assist those older persons, younger disabled adults, and their families or caregivers.

An adult daycare program provides a gamut of health and social services in a congregate setting, enhancing the daily lives of the program's members and enabling their continued involvement in the community.
