Adult Day Care Communities in Chester, VA

"We are using Adult Day Center at Lucy Corr Village ADC. My mom is at the Lucy Corr because that's the closest one to our home. This is like her third week. Two days a week she goes there. They have art activities. She hasn't gone on any outings, but they do that also. They have different activities like drawing, arts and puzzles, things to stimulate their mind, and games. Then, of course, they have the moments where they watch TV. She has brought home some art projects that they've done there. At some point, those that want to participate, have Bible study. There are different activities that she works with as far as her mind is concerned because she has mild to moderate dementia. Right now, that was the closest one to us, and it works out for me because I work in Richmond, so that was a good thing to be able to drop her off and then pick her up when I get off from work. They're pretty stationary right now. As far as taking them out, they haven't done that. But my mom seems to enjoy herself in talking to the people that are there. It looks like it's starting to pick up because when she started, there were only 6 people and now they have 11. The people that I've met have been very nice. She has breakfast, lunch, and then two snacks before I pick her up. She gets there about 8:00 in the morning and I pick her up at about 4:15. As for the food, Mom says there are good days and bad days. Of all the areas that I've been to, it's been very clean and comfortable, and I've only been in the daycare center, I don't think they have them go anywhere into the assisted living or the nursing area. They're like right off from a patio, where people can go outside and sit in a garden. The security is very good, so they can't go anywhere else."

"Interfaith is church-based and my mother is doing great with them. Most of the staff is volunteers. They do have an RN on duty and a program manager. "

"My Mother inlaw (Hilda M.) s few years ago went there Monday -Friday she really enjoyed it there, the Staff was great ,really did a lot for her good activities, she looked participating in arts and crafts, the staff was so attentive to her couldn't ask for a better place. I would highly recommend this place. Unfortunately February 5th Hilda M. passed away."

"Hanover seemed to be nice. The staff seemed fine. They served a hot meal and snacks during the day. They had a lot of activities and played bingo, music, and danced. They had rooms for activities and a place outside where they can sit."

"My wife goes to Alternative Adult Care during the day, and in the evening, she has a nurse that stays with her until I get home. We have been doing that for several months, and it is working pretty well. She has been going there since December and likes the people. In her mind, she is helping them. She does not call it as a daycare center in the morning when I take her. She calls it "going to work." As long as she feels that way about it, I want to keep her in an environment like that because she feels like she’s a big contribution. The staff is great and really care about the people they are taking care of and treat them like family. Everybody is like family there. They look forward to seeing her each morning and greet her at the door. They make a big fuss over her and hug her. The food there is good. I actually eat there myself. It is a huge building with TVs all over the place and different activities. There are some veterans who talk about their war exploits and she listens to that sometimes. There are ladies who get them to their rest rooms and take care of any hygiene needs that they may have. I bring her there Mondays to Thursdays at 8:00 a.m. In the afternoon, they have their activity bus and bring her right to the front door, at which time I have a nurse who comes to see her and stays with her. I will highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a daycare center that is very caring and very attentive to the individuals. She loves them. They are hugging her all the time and consistantly give you a monthly update on how she is doing. The folks there are just fantastic. I can’t speak in praises any higher. "

"I am a guardian of an individual with dementia who goes to Faith Works 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday. She LOVES it. I stop by once a month to check things out, and they are always very courteous and attentive. They care for people with different levels of abilities and have activities to keep everyone engaged. In addition, whenever I meet with her case worker or have a telehealth meeting with a care provider or therapist, I go there for the meetings. They always provide a quiet, private meeting place, making everything very convenient. And they are located near great dining options, so if I want to celebrate a special occasion and take my loved one to lunch or get a special treat, there are nice options available. They also accept Medicaid, which my individual needs."
