Arizona adult day care centers aren’t considered a cure, nor are they an alternative to a nursing home, but they do provide much needed friendships, social care, health care, and a chance to decrease isolation while being able to remain in their homes.
These centers are usually open during working hours and may stand alone or be located in senior centers. It allows seniors to stay in a safe, happy, and supportive environment when their caregivers are at work or need the daytime to complete other tasks.
