About Oakwood Creative Care - Red Mountain Day Club

Oakwood Creative Care was organized as Sirrine Adult Day Care of Mesa, Inc., in 1975 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized a need in the community to provide a safe, nurturing day environment for adults, age 55 and older, facing physical and/or mental challenges of daily living and unable to remain alone at home. Founders envisioned a program that would help seniors remain in the community as long as possible, provide an alternative to costly in-home and institutional care, and support the seniors’ family through the transitions brought about by failing health and decline. Recognizing a need for formal organizational structure, we were incorporated and granted nonprofit status by the Internal Revenue Service in 1987. At the same time, we were licensed by the Arizona Department of Health as a health facility serving persons with the diagnosis of dementia, Parkinson's, strokes, disabilities, or whatever the situation may be. The corporate name was changed to Oakwood Creative Care in early 2013 in response to a need to develop an identity that is easily remembered and better expresses our mission. Our goal is to support our community to age gracefully and to truly enjoy the golden years. We are changing the way adult day health care is done. We are a part of the community, the community is part of us, and we know that each of our participants have something to contribute.
