Did you know that River Hospital offers a Medical Model Adult Day Health Care Program??

The program is a medical, community-based, ambulatory service which promotes individual wellness to elderly and disabled adults.  River Hospital is one of two locations in the Jefferson and St. Lawrence County area offering this medical model program.

Adult Day Health Care offers registrants comprehensive health care in a congregate day setting designed to meet individual needs of chronically ill, frail, elderly and disabled adults requiring certain primary preventative, diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative or palliative services on an outpatient basis.
Registrants are provided transportation to and from the program, where their needs are assessed and met through an individualized coordinated plan of care.  Each plan is developed and implemented with the oversight and consultation of a professional medical team to ensure all health needs are addressed.  This type of program decreases the number of medical emergencies by having the Adult Day Health Care team observe, identify and act upon medical issues before the issues become more serious.

While this outpatient program is designed for elderly and dependent adults, it also offers ongoing relief for the caregiver for as many as five days each week.  This option for day time care affords the primary caregiver the opportunity to work during the day, the ability to tend to personal needs and appointments, or simply offer a respite from the arduous task of round-the-clock care for a dependent loved one.

This medical and social service provides the needs for dependent individuals, allowing them to remain at home and part of the community longer.  This program contributes to quality of life for the participant through quality, stable healthcare in the home community.

Seasonal and full time residents are welcome.  To learn more about this program please call 482-1166.
