Adult Day Services (ADS) is a personalized program for adults who are physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally challenged, or frail due to advanced age. ADS helps older people maintain their independence by providing stimulating activities. Adult Day Services also gives family caregivers a break from their daily caregiving routine, allows them to shop, pay bills, seek medical attention for themselves, or simply rest from their ongoing caregiving duties.
Adult Day Services serves families in Carter, Greene, Sullivan, Washington, and Unicoi Counties. Funding sources include the TN Department of Human Services, the City of Johnson City, Social Services Block Grant, Veteran's Administration, United Way, City and County Governments, Medicaid Waiver Funds, Private Pay, Community Contributions, and fundraising activities.
“Adult Day Services has been a Godsend for me and my family…the staff is trained to provide for people with special needs as well as giving an environment that stimulates the mind and body.”
“I would encourage any family to consider Adult Day Services as an alternative to in-home nursing care. My hat is off to these wonderful people.”
