Adult Day Care Communities in Bryn Mawr, PA

The mission of Mercy Neighborhood Ministries of Philadelphia, Inc. is to create partnerships and services that respond to the needs of those who are poor in the North Philadelphia community, especially women, children, and persons with special needs. The Sisters of Mercy have worked in partnership with the working poor of the Tioga-Nicetown community for more than 40 years. As a result, they have developed relationships across generations that have been manifested in the work of our ministry. Since its incorporation in 2003, MNM has remained a beacon of progress for children, adults, and the elderly in North Philadelphia. In 2005, MNM purchased an abandoned warehouse that opened in 2009 as the Mercy Family Center - the first green building constructed in North Philadelphia and now one of 42 silver level certified buildings in the City of Philadelphia. Mercy caters to needs of the senior community by offering a safe, caring, and stimulating environment: a comprehensive program that uniquely integrates social interaction, creative activities, personal care, and nursing services. Based on our experience and the evidence of health and medical providers, Adult Day Care is “the least expensive and most desired form of Elder Care,” in that seniors can age in place in their own homes while receiving the necessary services allowing them to live their last years with the dignity they deserve. (NADSA study comparing all Long Term Living options) Who can participate? Any adult age 60 and older can participate in our adult day program. Also eligible for adult day services are those experiencing difficulty with daily activities due to health problems and/or disability. What do we offer? Personal care plan Nursing services Social services Socialization and community Health and wellness activities Computer activities Music and crafts Recreational and cultural enrichment Delicious, healthy meals Necessary assistance to continue living independently in their own homes or with a family member High quality care by caring professionals Services that improve and enhance quality of life Sense of belonging and community Joy and peace of mind Mercy Neighborhood Ministries offers compassionate, loving care. From the moment you arrive, until it’s time to go home, you will receive plenty of attention, respect and a healthy dose of fun! According to the Pennsylvania HealthCare Association, the median annual cost for a private room in a Pennsylvania nursing home is $99,280. Being able to age in place, attend Adult Day Care, and avoid placement in skilled nursing facilities has saved our current participants at least 85 years of nursing facility costs, which would be approximately $8, 840, 880.00 over 5 years. In June, 2014, at the annual Adult Day licensing visit by the Dept. of Aging, Bureau of Quality Assurance, the licensing representative commended the Center for good fire safety training, procedures and nursing assessments, observations and goals which incorporate personal care issues which go above and beyond the expected regulations, helping to ensure the most current information is provided to caregivers about the participants.

"Thank you so much for the care you provide my father. It is obvious that the staff are involved with him in a much deeper way than just helping him through the day to day necessities. Liam "

"Concern for the individual. Activites on a daily basis. Availability of different health care situations. Careing provides and extended activties outside of the facility. "

"I got in late to Senior Care, so I didn’t see everything. They changed over to a new person, and he was there only 2 weeks. They were very flexible in the schedule, and they provide transportation to the facility. I thought the cost was reasonable. They even offered to go with me and do an assessment for me. "

"The Adult Daycare provided a safe ,fun place for my Mom. There were field trips with a relative or friend who could come along, feedback, parties. I wish she could still attend. She did so much better in that environment rather a nurcing home. "

At Active Day every day is dedicated to the independence and dignity of seniors and disabled members of all abilities. While members enjoy themselves in our adult day care centers, their families experience a renewed sense of security and fulfillment. Active Day is like a home away from home. Our caring professionals know what a difference it makes to create a comfortable, familiar atmosphere with our programs for seniors and disabled adults. We’re here to provide adult day health care supervision, therapeutic activities, and rehabilitative therapies in a positive, people-focused way for those who require health care and support services as a result of chronic conditions, such as: COPD; stroke; Alzheimer’s and other related dementias; seizures; diabetes; Parkinson’s; Multiple Sclerosis; hypertension and heart disease; developmental and intellectual disabilities. Activities is another huge focus as we believe staying active and engaged is a vital part of staying health in mind, body and soul. Our members not only have a place to call their own they also meet new friends that they look forward to seeing each time they come to the center. We treat each of our members and their families as if they were ‘our’ family. Your loved one will look forward to going to a place that they can call their own.

"I was hesitant to send my mom to Wiley. We live about a 1/2 hour away and the building at Wiley is not modern by any means. But, I gave it a try because I heard great things about the care at Wiley. It has been 3 months since mom started and it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. The staff is tremendous and they really do care about the folks that attend. Do yourself a favor and consider Wiley when looking for a medical day program for your love one. "

"My mother lived at the nursing residence for 4 years. Prior to her long term stay she had a short term stay in the rehab facility. My Mom was content. I along with my siblings felt she was safe and well cared for the entire time she lived at Abramson. Whenever we had issues, the staff was very responsive and tried to correct. I always had a good feeling when I entered the facility and when I left after a visit. We researched many places/facilities before we made our decision to place my Mom at Abramson. We made the right decision and felt very fortunate she was accepted and a bed was available for her. They are 100% occupied most of the time. Timing for admission needs to be perfect. Highly recommend "

"This is a very busy fairly big facility with alot going on threw out the day. Resident are dressed and out of bed early in the morning and start there day off with breakfast. They have activies on every wing and all resident are encouraged to participate. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is a very nice facility. "

"As an Emergency Room Nurse I have seen many patients come in from various nursing home and assisted living facilities in the area. I have seen a wide range of care ranging from fair to excellent, so when it became time for us to look at a nusring home for my father, the choice was easy; Parkhouse. Parkhouse has exceeded our expectations with their compassionate and skilled nursing. Patients from Parkhouse have always arrived to our ER in the best of physical condition and the facility is clean and bright and well staffed. The case workers, admission teams, social worker and director have all been incredibly supportive and have helped us to work our way through the incredibly complex and frustration medicare insurance process. Our father has dementia and multiple physical issues that have made it impossible for him to stay in his home any longer; the transition to Parkhouse was as smooth as it could have possibly been and the staff help him to feel like he maintains some of his independence while we know that he is safe, well cared for and treated with both dignity and respect. I cannot say enough about what Parkouse does; they truely are the best at what they do. We are grateful every day for Parkhouse. "

"This adult day care center is far from professional compared to any other center i have visited. the employees are a rude and don't care about anything that goes on around them. I guess it's the training given from their higher ups, and unfortunately it shows as soon as you walk in. supervisors are disrespectful to employees and argue on front of clients and family memebers. So unorthodox. "

"I am the sole caretaker of my Godmother and I bring her to Senior care several times a week,This is the best place that I could find,the workers are amazing and very caring,I have seen the interaction of the workers with the clients everytime I drop me Godmother off and pick her up,and they are perfect and respectful.My Godmother loves it there and she never wants to be in a strange place so that alone is saying something about Senior care,The supervisor kerri has been and still is extremly helpful ,friendly & courteous,Kerri is the best that I could ask for to help with my Godmothers needs, I don't trust any Daycare Facilities at all but this place run very well and I would and do recommend my clients parents with needs to go there. "

"My aunt is at Saint John Neumann Nursing Home. She is staying in a shared room. They have a nice big dining room. Outside, they have a nice enclosed courtyard where they can sit. They have mass every day at 11:00 o'clock. Everyone is very nice. "

"Senior Care Warminster is taking good care of my wife. She gets lunch from them. The amenities appeared to be adequate and varied. They have sing-along, Bingo games, exercises, and lunches. They appeared to be doing a reasonable job, and the staff is professional and very friendly. They appeared to be very accommodating, attempt to please you in whatever manner they can, do a good job in assembling folks who seem to get together even though they don't know each other, and spend pleasant days together. The place is also very clean. "
