“A Great way to spend the day...” With life expectancy continuing to rise, more and more of us need assistance as we age. While there are many different types of senior care available, adult day care centers are designed for older adults who can no longer manage independently, or who are isolated and lonely. Sometimes family members or primary caregivers may feel reluctant to use adult day care services because they are unfamiliar, or because a loved one is hesitant to try something new. However, a well-run adult day care center can benefit both the senior and the caregiver. Participants can benefit from socializing with others and receiving needed care services. Caregivers can benefit by getting a break from care giving duties while knowing that a loved one is in good hands.

Living Waters Adult Day Care and Activity Center is located at 776 2nd Street (Old Town Helena) in Helena, Alabama and provides a comfortable, safe, homelike environment with friendly, reliable staff to help adults in need of some supervision during the day to maintain their vitality. While you are at work or running errands, the highly trained staff offers activities that enhance cognitive abilities and interaction with others helping seniors to feel good— physically and emotionally. Applicants to the program are first interviewed at the center or over the phone, after which the applicant and/or family will decide whether the program is suitable for their individual needs. Applicants admitted will sign a contract, agree on goals for the participant, days of attendance, and fees.
