The Boone
County Adult Day Services Center in Harrison, Arkansas provides
low-cost day care for persons with mental or physical impairments, and
for those who can no longer stay home alone. Individuals with
Alzheimer's disease, other memory problems, stroke victims, and
extremely frail elderly are all made to feel welcomed and cared for by
our friendly, trained, professional staff.
The goal
of our program is to offer participants devoted care and attention,
delicious and nutritious hot meals, structured recreational activities,
physical exercise, and social contact with others, all in a cheerful,
home-like atmosphere. Preserving the dignity and protecting the privacy
of our participants is a high priority.
The
program allows caregivers of dependent adults to continue working and to
stay involved with their communities. By enhancing the daily lives of
both, caregivers and participants, we strive to make it possible for
families to remain together as long as possible.
Location: 1516-A Rock Springs Road (Behind Shoney's
Restaurant) We are located in the Lloyd Kennedy Aging Services
Complex, and share a building with the Boone County Senior Center.
