About The Adult Day Health Center at St. Camillus - Medical Day Health Program

Established in 1971, the St. Camillus Adult Day Health Program was one of the first medical day programs in New York State. In keeping with that same pioneer spirit, our program has continued to expand and to develop an array of services designed to enable adults with medical problems to live in their home as independently and for as long as possible. This is accomplished by developing a comprehensive individualized plan that coordinates our medical day program services with any additional community services needed to meet this goal. In addition to the provision of vital services for the individual, the program can offer education, support and a respite for those caring for their loved ones at home. The Adult Day Health program allows family members the chance to take care of themselves, knowing their loved one is being well-cared for in a safe environment. The Medical Day Health Program is offered Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM and serves adults 16 years or older who: Are returning home from a hospitalization and/or short/long term rehabilitation; Require additional medical, rehabilitation, and support services to maximize health status; Can increase independence so they can remain safely in their home; Have a progressive or chronic illness that has resulted in a gradual decline in health; Require ongoing medical services and coordination of multiple services to maximize health and the ability to remain at home; Require medical day services as a component of a waiver program (TBI or NHTD) or to supplement home health services.
