About SeniorDayServices.com Guide for Caregivers of Disabled Elderly
We, an informal group of senior citizens, recognized the growing need
for a web site that could serve as a central resource for caregivers
and family members - who care for their disabled loved one. Caring for
an elderly citizen with disabilities can be demanding; a respite is
needed from time to time.
Guide to Senior Day Care Centers
This is why we decided to create our online guide to all Senior Day
Care facilities in the United States. We realize that it will take a
while for us to grow our listings to the point that all States and
most Cities will be covered. If you would like to help, please let
us know.
We feature contact information and detailed descriptions of related
services, and other important resources, currently available. Below
is a summary of those services:
- Senior Day Care Centers - typically provide elderly
afflicted with physical or cognitive disabilities an opportunity
to socialize, engage in activities, play games, and receive assistance
with personal grooming in a safe, friendly, supervised setting.
- Adult Day Care Centers - offer similar services for disabled adults.
- General Day Care Centers - offer similar services for disabled
individuals of all ages.
- Caregiver Support Centers - where caregivers can find additional
information, training, and support.
- Government Agencies - federal, state and local agencies offer
information and support for elderly citizens with disabilities.
- Non-Profit Organizations - provide various kinds of assistance.
- Other Organizations - offer additional assistance.
Caregiver Support
Caregiver Support Centers are springing up around the country to serve an
estimated 20 million or more men and women who are taking care of
a disabled loved one in their home.
These Centers provide needed information and training. They also
give participants an opportunity to join support groups where they can
share their experiences with others in the same situation.
