Liberty Adult Day and Health

Liberty Adult Day and Health sits in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, and helps older adults and people with disabilities who need care during the day, and you know, people come from many towns because their safe transportation services go pretty far and pick up and drop off at home, so folks don't have to drive themselves. The staff, including the Program Director, Health Services Supervisor, Registered Nurses, Nursing Assistants, a Social Service Coordinator, Activity Director, Program Aides, Kitchen Coordinator, and Administrative Assistants, look after guests who need short-term or long-term care, and they help people with memory loss in their special memory care room, which means there's a focus on safety and routines, and memory support includes music therapy and arts and crafts along with regular activities like bingo, gardening, entertainment events, and community outings, which, you know, can break up the day and bring folks together for socialization and friendships. There's nursing care and incontinence care, supervision, personal and foot care, and staff handle different health needs, even wound care or diabetic teachings-there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy available for people recovering or needing more rehab support, and breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided daily, often adjusted for special diets, so no one has to skip a meal if they have allergies or medical restrictions. The day program has hours from Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, and Saturday from 8am to 2pm, which gives working families a break or a chance to rest while their loved one is safe at the center. Staff communicate with families and primary care doctors, which can help if family lives far away and can't visit often. Liberty Adult Day and Health supports communication in English, French, Russian, and Spanish, so families from different backgrounds find it easier to talk to staff. They have support groups for caregivers who want advice or just to talk, and counseling is offered along with advice on care planning. For those needing a less expensive choice than a nursing home, Liberty gives supervised day care and health services while letting loved ones live at home, and the place meets state licensing and certification rules with its last update done in May 2018, though they don't accept Medicare for payment. They run a medical-model program focused on health needs, social services, and keeping minds engaged, and they host music and pet therapy too, so folks get some fun and comfort during their day. There are job openings for caregivers, CNAs, LPNs, and RNs, so the team stays well-staffed and guests get plenty of attention. They offer free trial days so families can see if it's a good fit before starting regular visits, and with care for short-term medical problems or longer stays, Liberty Adult Day and Health tries to make daily life easier and more comfortable for both guests and their families.
