Center for Senior Health provide comprehensive adult day services Monday thru Saturday, to adults with cognitive and physical impairments [Check specific location information for hours]. We are part of a continuum of community based care that strives to keep frail elderly and impaired adults in their own homes instead of nursing homes. Adult day services are an effective alternative to nursing home placement and a cost-effective alternative to home care and assisted living. Center for Senior Health has been providing services to the central Ohio community for over 26 years and starting August 2010 extending services to southern Ohio. We enable our clients to live more independently, while providing relief to their caregivers. Our activities and services are designed not only to maintain adults’ physical health, but to add new dimensions to their lives by helping them rediscover avenues of social, creative and recreational enjoyment. ELIGIBILITY Any adult who would benefit from the centers’ programs is eligible. Services are provided without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin or disability. One of our social workers will assist you with funding sources and payment options. WHO USES CENTER FOR SENIOR HEALTH SERVICES
