Adult day care is designed for older adults, individuals with chronic health needs, memory challenges, or those recovering from illness or surgery. It’s also helpful for caregivers who need reliable daytime support while working or resting.

Most adult day care programs provide group activities such as games, crafts, music, exercise, and social events. At Penn Village, we also provide nutritious meals, wellness checks, and opportunities for seniors to stay active and engaged throughout the day.

Adult day care provides structured social interaction and activities that private caregivers often cannot replicate. It also ensures consistent oversight from trained staff, plus opportunities for peer connection in a community setting.

If your loved one feels isolated, needs supervision during the day, or would benefit from a safe and engaging environment, adult day care is likely a great fit. Visiting Penn Village for a tour is the best way to see if our program matches your family’s needs.

Adult day care provides supervised care, structured activities, and health support for adults who need extra assistance during the day.
