Commack, NY Adult Day Health Care

There are more than 4,000 adult day care centers in the United States, and the need is growing for this type of service. Gurwin offers both medical and social model adult day care programs to meet the needs of our Long Island community. The medical model adult day health care (ADHC) program provides not only the social activities associated with most senior programs, but also the medical/nursing and rehabilitation services ordered by a physician that will help our registrants remain living in their own homes. The social model offers frail elderly individuals and those with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia a structured, active, friendly and supervised environment where they can flourish.

Health and recreation services are provided in a caring and creative environment, designed for the care, comfort and convenience of the frail, elderly and younger disabled adult.

Certified by the New York State Department of Health, Gurwin’s medical model program operates five days a week, from 8:30 am until 3:00 pm.  Flex hours are also available. It is designed for elderly and younger adults who:

• Have cognitive, physical or psychological conditions requiring supervision including: Alzheimer’s disease or other related dementias, coronary artery disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, head trauma, etc.
• Require health and/or rehabilitative services.
• Require a structured program of emotional and social support and stimulation.

Our social model program operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 am until 3:30 pm (4 hour half-day rates also available) and is designed for the frail elderly and those with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.  Private pay, Medicaid Managed Care and insurance plans are accepted.   The program is run by our compassionate, caring bi-lingual staff and includes:

• Two meals and snacks
• A variety of stimulating activities including art exploration, crafts, exercise, games, dancing, gardening, trips, holiday and birthday celebrations
• Yoga and meditation, aromatherapy and more
• Assistance with Activities of Daily Living
• Cognitive stimulation including reminiscence, games and puzzles

Our Adult Day Health Programs are located in the Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, with a private entrance and facilities specifically for our ADHC registrants. Access to clinic services, a beauty salon/barber shop and a gift shop is provided, enabling our registrants to handle routine needs while at the Center, and minimizing those needs when at home.  Our award-winning Therapeutic Recreation program offers a full social calendar with choice, allowing registrants to be busy and engaged all day long.

There are other Adult Day Health Programs on Long Island, but none like the staff that cares for the registrants at Gurwin’s Program. Once you visit, you’ll immediately feel like family. Our staff goes that extra mile each and every day to be sure every program participant is welcomed and cared for.

Our Adult Day Health Care Program offers services that are customized to our registrants’ needs and interests. Various activities are held concurrently, and registrants are able to choose based on past or new interests. Medical/nursing and rehabilitation services are provided based on each individual’s needs.
