Long Island Adult Day Care– For Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias

Customized senior program promoting social and healthcare related well-being

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.
