Commack, NY Adult Day Health Care

There are more than 5,000 adult day care centers in the United States, and the need is growing for this type of service. Gurwin offers both medical and social model adult day care programs to meet the needs of our Long Island community. The medical model adult day health care (ADHC) program provides not only the social activities associated with most senior programs, but also the medical/nursing and rehabilitation services ordered by a physician that will help our registrants remain living in their own homes. The social model offers frail elderly individuals and those with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia a structured, active, friendly and supervised environment where they can flourish.

Health and recreation services are provided in a caring and creative environment, designed for the care, comfort and convenience of the frail, elderly and younger disabled adult.

Certified by the New York State Department of Health, Gurwin’s medical model program operates six days a week, from 8:30 am until 3:00 pm.  Flex hours are also available. It is designed for elderly and younger adults who:

• Have cognitive, physical or psychological conditions requiring supervision including: Alzheimer’s disease or other related dementias, coronary artery disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, head trauma, etc.
• Require health and/or rehabilitative services.
• Require a structured program of emotional and social support and stimulation.

Our social model program operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 am until 3:30 pm (4 hour half-day rates also available) and is designed for the frail elderly and those with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.  Private pay, Medicaid Managed Care and insurance plans are accepted.   The program is run by our compassionate, caring bi-lingual staff and includes:

• Two meals and snacks
• A variety of stimulating activities including art exploration, crafts, exercise, games, dancing, gardening, trips, holiday and birthday celebrations
• Yoga and meditation, aromatherapy and more
• Assistance with Activities of Daily Living
• Cognitive stimulation including reminiscence, games and puzzles

Both of our Adult Day Health Programs are located in the Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, with a private entrance and facilities specifically designated for our program participants. Access to clinic services, a beauty salon/barber shop,  and outdoor patios is provided, enabling our program participants to handle routine needs while at the Center, and minimizing those needs when at home.  Our award-winning Therapeutic Recreation program offers a full social calendar with choice, allowing participants to be busy and engaged all day long.

Gurwin’s Adult Day Health Program staff are the heart and soul of our program, caring for participants as if they were their own family members.   Each one of specially trained staff is dedicated to making every day special for our program participants, ensuring that they feel welcome, cared for and happy; our bilingual team members serve the cultural and linguistic needs of our Spanish-speaking members, helping them feel connected, secure and loved. Once you visit, you’ll immediately feel like family. (Click here to learn more.)
