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.

"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 was there in a respite situation while I was on vacation. She was well cared for the the staff were kind and caring"

"Immaculate Mary Center for Rehabilitation & Healthcare was very clean and looked very respectful, probably because of its religious aspect of it. The rooms seemed nice and the people were nice. The rooms had a hospital-like feel to them because they had linoleum floors, but it was a good size and very clean. A lot of residents were going around doing something. I saw their physical therapy and it was very nice. They also had a very nice chapel."

"My father was in Parkhouse , I was very pleased with the treatment he had and the communication with me by the staff. The nurses were great, social worker was amazing., the activity team were also great. "

"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 have to say that I love this place my mom fell in love with the staff but one staff inparticular antoinetta she will do anything to put smile on the client s faces my mother would say this little women as been here before I never seen someone that works so hard in my life and they love how she welcome s everyone in I hope she's still there once it's my time to go there because she's very hands on I think we can all learn a little something from her and the other staff "

"To start, the staff is very knowledgable and skilled in their craft. Whenever I have questions they always answer in a timely manner. The grounds are well maintained on a daily basis. There is always someone buffing or mopping the floors. The environment is clean, pleasant and safe. "

"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. "
