Adult Day Health Program
Broadlawn Manor’s Adult Day Health Program provides a breadth of health and social services to physically, socially and/or mentally impaired individuals who are 30 years of age or older. The program is designed for individuals who will benefit from preventative, diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative or palliative services, but who do not require continual inpatient care. The program’s goal is to improve each individual’s wellbeing and independence in activities of daily living, while offering respite for caretakers.
Upon enrollment, each individual receives a comprehensive screening by a physician, nurse and social worker. Included in the screening is an evaluation for the need of ancillary healthcare services, which are provided through the program by experienced dentists, podiatrists, audiologists, optometrists, speech pathologists, psychiatrists and psychologists.
Broadlawn Manor’s approach to health and social services centers on the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals — each with expertise and special training. The team includes a medical director, nursing staff, social workers, occupational and physical therapists, recreational specialists, dieticians and pharmacists.
Participation in the program’s many daily activities is encouraged. The activities are designed to enrich lives through social interaction, mental stimulation, creativity, expression, satisfaction and fun. Examples of some of the activities available include:
- Gardening
- Music
- Games
- Pet Therapy
- Arts and Crafts
- Walking
- Exercises
- Reminiscence Groups
- Cooking
- Brainy Day Activity Program
- Linked Senior
Nutritious choices are offered for continental breakfast, hot lunch and daily snacks. If necessary, each individual’s medication can be monitored and dispensed as prescribed.
The Adult Day Health Program, located on the Nassau/Suffolk border on Long Island, New York, operates seven days per week from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Door-through-door transportation is available within the catchment area for those unable to make their own arrangements.
