Ruth Sheets Adult Day Care Ctr

Ruth Sheets Adult Day Care Center is a nonprofit adult day care in downtown Raleigh, located at 228 W. Edenton St., inside Edenton Street United Methodist Church, and it's been around since 1992, licensed by the state and accredited by the NC Department of Health and Human Services Division of Aging and Adult Services. The center runs from Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and stays closed on Sundays. Staff there have training in First Aid, CPR, Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, and other conditions, and they're used to helping folks with disabilities or memory problems handle daily activities in a place that's safe and supervised, offering support for caregivers who need relief. The daily program includes a structured schedule with activities meant to keep people engaged physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially, with things like music, worship arts, and social groups, plus Christian education, small group gatherings, and even leadership opportunities for those interested. Meals are balanced and nutritious, healthcare services include things like incontinence care, and the team has amenities designed to meet senior care needs through both short-term and long-term options for families. The center's friendly and welcoming environment encourages social connection while giving folks a chance to take part in shared prayer, Sunday School, doorstep ministry, and global outreach. People get help with daily living while also having access to guides and resources about senior care, and the staff can help families figure out if adult day care fits their needs or line up a tour to see how it all works. The center aims to create a place where older adults can stay independent longer, stay active during the day, rest easier at night, and enjoy each other's company in a place where care and community matter.
