KEYSTONE ADULT DAY PROGRAM

About KEYSTONE ADULT DAY PROGRAM

Keystone Adult Day Program was established in February 1988, for the purpose of giving people an alternative to institutional care. Keystone is a not for profit human service agency serving citizens of Oak Ridge and the surrounding areas. In a time of rising health care costs, Keystone offers a resource of community-based support for families that can prevent, divert, or delay the need for institutionalized care and its associated financial and emotional costs. Keystone Adult Day Program is licensed by the State of Tennessee, Department of Human Services. The program is operated to meet or exceed the minimum standards, and is funded through participant fees, grants, and donations of money, goods and services. Keystone Adult Day Program serves both the individual participant and their families. The goals of the program are to provide caregivers with a much needed break from around-the-clock care as well as to provide them with support, information and available resources. The goals for the individual participant are to provide a safe, supportive, and stimulating atmosphere. As always, at Keystone the starting point is the individual, the participant. The needs of the participant form the core of this vision. The intensity of care must then revolve around the participant’s needs and address the services that allow the participant to function at the highest level of his or her ability. It is the policy of Keystone Adult Day Program to provide services to all individuals whose needs may be met by the program’s services, without regard to race, creed, age, sex, national origin, or color.
