The Best Adult Day Care Communities in Collier County, FL

"My mother attended the Care Club, a day care for adults with dementia, for an astounding 10 years, and I am totally convinced that it's due to the kind & caring staff, the social interaction, and activities that kept her engaged and useful, she maintained her high level of functioning and her sweet, loving personality. The peace of mind knowing Mom was well cared for allowed me to continue my career and kept our family intact. We simply couldn't have done it without them! I highly recommend the Care Club to anyone in need of adult day care for a loved one with dementia. "

"From the moment you walk into Ardent Manor Adult Day Center's bright main room and experience their warm welcoming greeting, you know you are in a unique program. Staffed with dedicated professionals, you can feel how much they love what they do! It is exactly what our family needed to find after our exhausted caregiver mother was in need of relief during the day in providing care and supervision of our stepfather who had Alzheimer's. He was easily agitated and found it very uncomfortable to be around strangers, making it near impossible to find a place where he would be happy, safe and well cared for! Each of the Day Centers we visited, he was intolerant of the place and anxiously wanted to leave."¦until we visited Ardent Manor and met Helen W., the Executive Director! On first meeting her, it was like watching a gifted artist with a brush on canvas, how she skillfully painted a beautiful study of him and zeroed in on his personal fears and comfort level...handling him with just enough humor and comfort that, with pleasure, he voluntarily sat down and within minutes was engaging in a group activity! If you knew my stepfather you knew that never happened before! Shocked as we were by this, after getting to know Helen I realized how much this gifted woman was making an enormous lasting change in all our lives and had been doing with countless families before we got there. Committed to providing a caring supportive service that promotes dignity and self esteem, Helen and Dan Waite have partnered to create an endearing and charming "Club" ! Along with Lexi and their other dedicated team, they helped in Charlie's transition from attending a couple of hours a week to five days and a full day...it provided immeasurable fulfillment for the challenges he faced with Alzheimer's. The program which consists of daily exercise, music therapy, singing, crafts, discussion groups, games, cards, memory enhancement exercises and discussion groups are prepared with warmth and dignity. As Charlie's health declined, they were with us every step of the way with the warmest support and care you could ask for! Our family is extremely thankful that we found Helen and Dan and their wonderful Center"¦and especially in helping to make a "soft spot to lean on" during those tiresome times. "Ardent Manor"! "“ Integrity, compassionate, devoted, spirited, fun-loving, dignity"¦.. They named their Adult Center the best way they could have to describe them! "

"My husband and I were very nervous about leaving my mom at a day care center but Kendra, the center manager at Millennium House took as much time as we needed and answered all our questions and put our minds at ease. Kendra’s attitude alone makes this place one where you are not petrified to leave your loved one. My mom can’t wait to go in the morning and she is so happy when we pick her up. It has changed her life and ours. They really take care of my mom above and beyond what we could have ever hoped!! We highly recommend Millennium House for your loved ones. They have the most loving and caring staff around. We are so thankful to have found such a wonderful place as this one for my mother. "

"This is a wonderful facility. The lady for whom I provide care goes there four days a week for about seven to eight hours. She really enjoys it and calls it the club. They keep the lines of communication open and are always able to address any concerns. They give showers and once a month they give manicures and hair cuts to those that schedule them. "
