Adult Day Care Communities in Dublin, CA

"This review is for the Adult Day Care services. I recently entered my 85yo mother who has Alzheimer's in to this program and, to date, it has been a very good experience. The staff seems engaged and patient with those in their care and my mother runs to the door on the days she is scheduled to attend. This has totally changed her demeanor at home with both my father and her caregiver. It has provided her with structured activities and interaction with those who have similar challenges. I would definitely recommend this program to others. "

"My mom, who is physically healthy with dementia, has been a client here for over a year now. The caregivers here are true caregiving professionals: sincerely caring, patient, and knowledgeable. The variety of activities for their clients is also great, and it is obvious the staff works as a team. The case manager and director kept in regular contact with me to monitor changes in my mom's behavior and health. They also offered many additional caregiving resources, including providing me with information for a respite grant that I applied for and was approved! Medi-Cal will not pay for SCADS, but they offer sliding scale rates based on your ability to pay. The Peninsula is fortunate to have SCADS!"

"We have my mom enrolled in a day care program at Avenidas (Avenidas Rose Kleiner Senior Day Health Center), and it seems to be working well right now. They are very caring and wonderful there, and she likes it. There are activities, and they give them lunch. They do crafts and programs. They are a really nice alternative to be away from your home. I like the caring staff. They pick her up on a bus and take her. They bring her back at the end of the program. So, she is still able to stay in her home, and that's the goal at the present time. They have locale community college that brings animals when they visit. They have music and arts & crafts. They also have physical therapy -- both OT and PT. There are nurses on staff, so it is a really wonderful place for my mom right now. The food is great. She even contacts the cook to talk about recipes, menus, and things. We are really happy with Avenidas. I will give them 100% recommendation. "

"Our needs are being taken care of Norcal and I love them. The nurse my mom have is the greatest. She loves the nurse, the physical therapist, the social worker and she likes the home aide. It's an excellent match and it was pretty fast. I didn't have to wait. It didn't take them more than a week to find the right person. Mom is comfortable with her caregivers and so is the rest of the family. They have responded and they responded quickly. They responded with good people and the good people are doing everything to keep my mom comfortable and make her happy. I wouldn't mind using their service over and over again. "

"Mission Creek is a fairly new facility (probably been around for 5 years or so) and is connected to Senior Housing (it's on the second floor of a huge complex). I know it well and have only positive things to say: Pros: It's in a great location, right next to AT&T Park, with great views of Mission Creek. The food is good, and they cater to special diets. It's a modern building, with large hallways for wheelchair access. There's been little turnover among staff, and the staff is great. They have PT, OT, a licensed vocational nurse, an RN, and a social worker. They have a large state-of-the-art gymnasium--and lots of activities. They offer free transportation to and from the facility. They have a flower garden on the balcony. Participants have a real sense of privacy and security in the building. They accept Medical, private insurance with a co-pay, and a sliding scale fee if paying privately. Cons: None. "

"Mabini Adult Day Health has been around for 30 years or so and has so far survived the California budget crunch. It's in a safe neighborhood and caters to the north and south of Market Asian community. Pros: The program director is a licensed clinical social worker (very good and experienced). They offer free transportation to and from the facility. They contract with the San Francisco Health Department for nursing staff (and the nursing staff they get is well qualified). There's little turnover among staff. The food is excellent. They serve hot food every day and accommodate special diets. They accept Medical (free), private insurance with a co-pay, and private pay on a sliding scale. Cons: It's a small facility, and the whole place feels congested. The exercise area for PT and OT is extremely small. It's an older building, and the hallways are narrow. "
