Adult Day Services

Reprinted from AOA Elder Living – October 2021 Newsletter

An adult day center provides care for vulnerable adults in a safe, cheerful and supportive environment. Adult day centers operate during daytime hours, Monday through Friday, in some instances Saturdays as well. Nutritious meals are typically included as well as an afternoon snack.

Examples of activities typically provided:
• Arts and crafts
• Musical entertainment
• Mental stimulation
• Stretching or other gentle exercise

The Seneca Nation AOA has contracted with three Adult Day centers to provide Adult Day services to qualified Elders and their caregivers. They include:

  1. Lake Shore Family Center
    in Irving, NY
  2. Chautauqua Adult Day
    in Jamestown, NY
  3. Linwood Adult Day Center
    in Olean, NY

If you are a caregiver you may find that an adult day program can not only provide you a safe & supervised environment for your Elder, but it can also provide social interaction and cognitive stimulation for your loved one.

Depending on the participants income, there may be cost share associated with this program. For more information or to schedule an assessment to see if you qualify, please contact AOA Case Managers:
