About Frontier Community Services - Adult Day Services

One of Frontier Community Services' (FCS) primary beliefs is that seniors and adults with physical disabilities are happier and healthier living in their own homes and being involved in their community. For most of us, choosing where we want to live is relatively easy. For many seniors who experience problems related to aging and for adults with a physical disability, this is a much more difficult task. The nature of the individual's problems can make it difficult for the individual to live independently in their own home and access community recreational and social activities. FCS provides a wide variety of services for folks who need help living in their home and accessing their community. Balancing caring for an elder or someone with a physical disability at home and working to pay the bills can be a real challenge. The person can't be safely left at home alone and being cooped up at home all day isn't good for her either. FCS runs the Forget-Me-Not adult day center. The center specializes in working with seniors who have Alzheimer's, but any adult who needs to can attend. It is open five days a week, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and folks can come as much or little as they would like. Forget-Me-Not also gives the people that attend an United Way opportunity to make friends and engage in activities designed to help them with their issues. Not only can family members go to work and have the person cared for, but you have the added bonus of being able to talk with trained staff that become very familiar with your loved one. This partnership between center staff and families really benefits everyone who attends Forget-Me-Not.
