Adult Day of Dunwoody

Adult Day of Dunwoody sits at 1 Dunwoody Park, Suite 123, in Dunwoody, GA 30338, and offers daytime care and a sense of community for seniors and adults with disabilities, and walking in you'll see crafts made by participants out in the lobby, and the main focus really is on helping people be as independent as possible while giving a safe, friendly space for social time, meals, and care throughout the day, and there's always a nurse on duty since it runs as a medical-model adult day program, and staff are trained to help with dementia and Alzheimer's, so if someone needs help with bathing, toileting, eating, medication, or just moving around, there's always someone to lend a hand with respect and patience. Members get individual plans fit to their own needs, and the day fills up quickly with things like art therapy, including the dementia-friendly "Creative Connections" program, music therapy, moderate exercises, games, brain fitness, and pet visits, plus occasional outings outside, and they've got activity rooms, a dining room, spaces for both indoor and outdoor relaxation, and even gardens if someone wants fresh air. Nutritious meals, with choices for vegetarians and people who keep kosher, are served in a social setting so no one eats alone unless they want to. A team of nurses, activity coordinators, social workers, and licensed therapists, like physical, occupational, and speech therapists, provide medical monitoring, assistance with chronic health needs, and personal care, but also help with emotional and mental well-being, which is nice because sometimes people need more than just a check-up. Memory care is a big part of the program here, and the activities are designed to be both engaging and accessible, no matter a person's mobility or cognitive needs, and the staff know how to run programs for people living with dementia or other challenges. The hours are for the daytime, and folks can get transportation to and from the center for a fee, which might help families who can't always drive. You'll also find easy access to local hospitals, doctors, and pharmacies since it's right in Dunwoody near Atlanta, and the community does have information about different levels of care, including memory care, assisted living, and skilled nursing if anyone wants to consider that later. The center is nonprofit, with support from their own Adult Day of Dunwoody Foundation, so they sometimes give scholarships and extra programs, and they accept VA benefits, long-term care insurance, CCSP, and private payment. Amenities include lounges, WiFi, guest parking, laundry, a fitness center, housekeeping, safety features, a salon, kitchens, and outdoor common areas, and the place really tries to help folks stay healthy, social, and involved so they can live at home as long as possible, whether they need help every day or just want a place to stay busy, eat well, and see friends.
