Active Day - Chester

Active Day - Chester sits near Friendship Baptist Church in Chester, South Carolina, and has been running since October 1996, and folks around here know it as a licensed adult day care center with space for up to 45 participants each day, so people don't have to move into nursing homes or other longer-term places if they're just needing daytime help. The center helps older adults and people with disabilities spend the day in a safe, supervised, and social group setting where they get meals, snacks, medication management, and rides to and from the center, and there's also recreation like outings, games, and pet therapy. People can take part in activities for both mind and body, such as physical and occupational therapy and brain stimulation programs, and the center aims to help with feelings of being lonely or down by encouraging social time with peers. Caregivers get some relief while their loved ones are cared for, and the programs try to improve independence and quality of life with meaningful things to do and support groups. The staff understand English and Spanish and provide a community focused on compassion and respect for each person's needs, and the place has regular full-day programs, including specialized IDD adult services and in-home care, with ways for members to build friendships and enjoy a safe environment. Active Day - Chester is part of a larger network with other locations across several states like South Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland, and Massachusetts. The Chester center sits at 609 Columbia Rd. and uses plain names for its rooms and programs, focusing on adult day care, elderly supervision, and senior activities, and you can find out about events or get information about their programs by visiting their website.
