Day Break Adult Day Care sits near the Ogden Canyon foothills, tucked among pine trees in a historic building the community has kept up to feel familiar and welcoming, and folks head there from Ogden and nearby because the place gives seniors a safe spot and a steady routine during the day. The program's all set up so older adults can join in social activities and get some personal care, and there's always trained CNA staff and experienced caregivers-usually four of them at a time-so the staff-to-participant ratio stays at 1:6, which lets everyone get attention and support that fits their needs. Day Break's main goal is to enrich the lives of older adults through regular activities that work on social, cognitive, and physical health, things like games, supervised walks in their outdoor spaces, and group activities designed to help with memory and motor skills.
Seniors who come to Day Break often face things like isolation, frailty, depression, Parkinson's, the effects of a stroke, or memory loss from dementia or Alzheimer's, so the place is built and staffed to help them feel safe and cared for. They'll find incontinence care, regular health checks, and a spot to spend the day around others, and the program also helps families, because while their loved ones are at Day Break, caregivers can take a "DAY-cation" and look after their own needs. Folks caring for a veteran might like to know it's the only adult day care contracted with the VA in Utah, and it's an approved Medicaid and county caregiver support program vendor, which helps with costs sometimes. There's even help with prescription savings and discounted medications if that's needed.
People who join the "Club" get a mix of social time, supervision, and health services that can help keep them active, delay nursing home care, and possibly lift their mood or behavior over time, and with open communication between staff and families, everyone stays updated. It's a place where adults can stay engaged while still living at home, and being the only senior day program left in northern Utah after the pandemic, Day Break aims to support both the seniors and their families every step of the way. The team works closely with local health groups, keeps affordability in mind, and holds a steady reputation for personal attention and a warm, comfortable setting meant to help older adults remain as independent and connected as possible. Tours and complimentary nurse evaluations are available, and there's usually room right away for veterans needing care.
