Adult day care recommendations (Raleigh, Durham: living, design, activities)

[Raleigh75]

My parents (in their 60's) just moved to Raleigh. My mom is disabled (ruptured aneurysm back in '06) and in need of a caring adult day-care service. Not the in-home kind, but the kind where she interacts with others her age for 8 hours a day; the drop-off and pick-up kind.

She needs assistance with most activities of daily living (toileting, changing, walking, etc). She doesn't have demencia but her short-term memory is poor.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know of any to give a recommendation, but here is the list of Adult Day programs from Resources for Seniors in Wake County.

Hope that helps.

My family member attends Total Life Center on Departure Drive. They offer a variety of care levels, and lots of different activities. She loves it there, is pretty functional (except dementia, cannot be left alone....), and loves to help out the less functional participants when she can. Seems like a good fit for our family. Good Luck!

I realize this is an old thread, but for anyone checking out adult daycare I would encourage you to check out The Glade at the Glenaire continuing care community in Cary. We looked at daycare programs in Durham, Raleigh, Hillsborough and Cary and while they all had their good points, this one is exceptional. A relative of mine has gone every day for over a year now and we continue to be impressed by their staff and their programming.

Staff is dedicated, caring, and stable. Programs are varied and designed to meet the cognitive and social needs of the group. It is truly a remarkable place.

The adult care center at Edenton Street United Methodist is well respected.
