Companionship, recreation and care Monday through Friday. A McLean Community Service where everyone has a good day. Not just a place to be, but a place to belong.

Many older adults need an enjoyable, secure place to spend their daytime hours-a safe, stimulating alternative to spending that time alone. The Adult Day Care program provides company, recreation and healthcare, as well as rehabilitation and counseling when needed. All this is provided in a pleasant environment with the added convenience of round-trip transportation.

"Our ultimate goal is to maintain members' health and fitness and for each person to have a good day."

The Adult Day Care Program includes:

Planned activities such as cooking, music, field trips, exercise, discussion groups, arts & crafts, games, cards and educational programs
Various special events such as prominent speakers, musical performances, entertainers, notable public figures
Individualized care plans are created for each participant, customized for their specific needs and interests
Personal care services including showers and hairdresser services, as needed
Nutritious and delicious full-course noon-time dinners
Healthy snacks
Social interaction and making friends
Group outings
Health Services from staff nurses

Cost

The Adult Day Care Program fee includes transportation to and from home. If there are financial concerns about enrollment, please contact the Director.

The State of Connecticut Home Care for Elders Program pays the full fees for participants within income guidelines, which are less restrictive than Medicaid. In addition, McLean is able to award privately funded, partial scholarships to some participants. Forms are available for both programs from the Director.
