The Health Guard Adult Day Health Care Center (ADHC) provides medical, rehabilitation and social services to adults, 18 years and older, with physical or mental impairments. We are a certified Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS) provider.
We help people live functional and independent lives by providing cost-effective, community-based services to frail elderly participants and their family members, in a safe, clean and caring environment.
An adult day health care center, often called an ADHC or adult day care center, is a daytime program for older adults and adults with disabilities who need medical care, therapy and supervision but want to keep living at home. Participants spend the day with nurses, therapists, social workers and caregivers, then return home to their families each afternoon.
In California, this care is offered through Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS), a Medi-Cal benefit overseen by the Department of Health Care Services and the California Department of Aging. Its goal is to help people stay healthy and independent and to delay or avoid a move to a nursing home.
Unlike a senior center, which focuses on social activities, an ADHC center adds professional nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy, meals and social services, all based on an individual plan of care.
Our team of professional nurses and caregivers has years of experience assisting and supervising senior members.
Therapy services that help relieve pain, heal bodily functions and support participants who have trouble talking.
Hot, nutritionally balanced meals from our modern kitchen, with therapeutic diets such as diabetic, low salt and low cholesterol.
Social services through a licensed social worker, plus caregiver and participant support groups.
Bingo, arts and crafts, physical fitness, music and much more.
Transportation to and from our facility, with wheelchair accessibility in our dedicated transport.
Our program runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. Each member follows an individual plan of care, so every day balances health care, therapy, good food and time with friends.
Door-to-door transportation brings members to our center at the start of the day.
Members enjoy breakfast while our nurses check in on their health.
Group exercise plus physical, occupational and speech therapy for those who need it.
A nutritious hot lunch with diabetic, low salt and low cholesterol options.
Bingo, arts and crafts, music and conversation with friends.
After an afternoon snack, members head home to their families.
