Bella-Brooke Adult Day Center sits in a calm neighborhood in Chillicothe, Missouri, and for twelve years, it's been a place for adults and seniors who need daytime care and support, where Director Diana Deardorfs manages things with care. The center holds up to twenty people a day, and folks can stay in either private or semi-private rooms, depending on what they need and their preferences, and there's always someone around to help with daily needs like bathing, personal grooming, and even medication management. People come here Monday through Friday from early morning at 6:30 until 5:30 in the evening, and during those hours, staff offer help with incontinence care, restorative aid, and people can get help arranging or traveling to medical appointments, too.
There's a long list of activities and services aimed at helping folks stay independent, including educational classes, daily exercise routines, mental wellness support, and a variety of engaging group programs. Everyone gets nutritious USDA-approved meals, and staff also take people out for community outings, walks, and social gatherings, while activities and special events are planned to keep things lively and interesting. Bella-Brooke Adult Day Center provides in-home service care as well, and for those who have trouble getting around, transportation services are available for appointments and group trips. The rooms and social areas feel welcoming and meant to remind everyone of home, with a focus on keeping people comfortable and safe while encouraging them to take part in different activities. There's always a focus on the individuality of the people who attend, since the center puts real effort toward providing tailored care plans and getting to know each person's interests and needs. With a BBB rating of A+, Bella-Brooke Adult Day Center offers a steady, nurturing environment for anyone who needs daytime support and seeks a familiar, respectful place in their community.
