Managing time can be especially difficult for caregivers of people with dementia. In recognition of a need for respite care, Providence Healthcare offers a unique Adult Day Program (ADP) that provides flexible hours, caregiver relief and meaningful activity for individuals with moderate to severe dementia.
Located in a custom-designed space within Providence, we provide family and client-centric service in a warm and caring environment 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday and Saturday during the day.
