West Haven Regional Adult Day Center

About West Haven Regional Adult Day Center

The West Haven Adult Day Center is a social and health care agency that deals with physical, emotional and social problems experienced by older adults. We are a community of people helping each other. Services include a variety of group discussions, classes and activities, health monitoring, help with activities of daily living, intergenerational programs, individual and family counseling, recreation therapy, bathing and grooming, physical exercise and nutrition. Every effort is made to arrange safe, reliable transportation. In some cases it is provided by the center, which has a handicapped-accesible van with a wheelchair lift for wheelchair clients, and in other cases by the family or town of residence. The center is a certified Medical Day Center. Our center serves frail and handicapped adults from the Greater New Haven area. To date, clients have attended from Bethany, Branford, East Haven, Hamden, Milford, Orange, New Haven, West Haven and Woodbridge. Most are older than 60, but services have been given to a few younger adults with clear needs for this program. Our center is housed in one wing of the spacious and modern Robert A. Johnson Community Center, formerly Noble School. The facilities include an arts and crafts room, a living room, a dining room and a health and grooming room. Other portions of the Johnson center house a child day care center and various community offices. Participants in these programs share certain activities with our clients and help reduce the age segregation frequently found in services for older adults.
