Jennings Center for Older Adults offers the Eva L. Bruening Adult Day Center as a community-based service in the continuum of care. Adult day programs are a primary resource for seniors who remain in their homes or with at-home caregivers but may need additional support with medical, personal care, social and nutritional requirements. These programs can also help to ease the burden of caregivers who, for example, may need support physically or who may wish to reduce the stress of juggling caregiving, family and employment obligations.

Bringing together the traditions of neighborhood and home, seniors have the opportunity to enjoy the everyday elements of community life while receiving the extra support they may require. Participants in the adult day program find an enriching balance of stimulating activities, medical care and personal time in a secure environment. Seniors may come daily or regularly for participation. Our program is an ideal way for a senior to participate in a stimulating environment while receiving expert quality care. In addition, the program helps to improve caregiver abilities by providing critical respite time for re-energizing while having the peace of mind that a loved one is receiving good care.

The adult day center provides services such as:

• Transportation
• Home-cooked meals, including special diets
• Personal care and assistance
• Medication reminders

In addition to physical health and wellness, our commitment to spiritual wellness enables us to offer life-enriching programs for socialization and recreation. We celebrate life throughout the campus with special programs and activities to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
