Overview of Service

The Social Adult Day Program at Sunnyside Community Services offers specialized support and therapeutic activities for older adults with dementia. The Social Adult Day program provides a way for loved ones with memory loss to continue living at home while providing respite for their caregivers. A low staff-to-participant ratio ensures participants receive the individualized care and attention they need. A kitchen, dining room, and activity area creates a home-like environment. Certified aides assist participants with personal care and medication reminders. Participants engage daily in activities designed to meet their needs, interests, and abilities, including yoga, music, art, games, and pet therapy.

Overview of Service

If you or your loved one is having difficulty with daily activities, Sunnyside Community Services provides compassionate attention, available 24/7. In addition to providing home health aides, older adults and their families can rely on support—from filling out an application for Medicaid long-term care to ensuring safety at home to counseling families when a loved one is losing their memory. Help is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Home health aides speak more than twenty languages, including Spanish, French-Creole, and Tagalog. Home health aides receive ongoing training to improve their skills, including specialized coursework in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Clients experience better-controlled pain, higher medication adherence, and significantly fewer falls with injury. Sunnyside Community Services can assist you to obtain Medicaid or create a long-term care plan.

Please know that the Community Resource Finder is purely an informational tool. This means that the Alzheimer’s Association and AARP do not vet, evaluate, recommend or endorse any particular provider. Providers are solely responsible for keeping their information current. Although the data is expected to be reliable, users are advised to verify it independently, as it can change, and it is not guaranteed to be complete and accurate. Visit our tips section for guidance on evaluating and choosing options that best suit your needs.

The Community Resource Finder is powered by HealthlinkDimensions, which aggregates and maintains basic information about licensed senior service providers in the U.S. from several hundred sources at the federal, state, and local levels as well as through senior service membership organizations. Basic information about non-licensed providers is collected from private sources. Information is collected when providers complete a free Provider Profile, outlining the care and services they offer. HealthlinkDimensions is solely responsible for this activity. Additionally, program information from the Alzheimer’s Association and AARP is compiled.
