Joe's Club Adult Daycare Center

My mother has been going to Joe's Club Adult Daycare Center three days a week for about three months. I really like it and am very impressed with it. They have two nurses on staff plus about seven CNAs, and the rest are volunteers. There's a maximum of about 87 people that they can have day by day. They have support groups for caregivers, different events, and a lot of activities during the day. The people are very nice, and the staff is wonderful. The place is very nice and they just put in brand-new carpeting. It's very reasonable at less than $100 a day. They serve healthy and hot meals, but they could have a better variety. They could have a little bit more socialization activities because they do the same thing every week.

My wife and I toured most of the Palm Bay facilities and went to Joe's Club of Melbourne last. I wanted to take her there two days a week because they had a large population of clients, meaning that there was a high probability that my wife would meet perhaps five people at the same disease stage. The RN was always helpful, and the staff really seemed to care about the clients; it was more than just a job! The monthly activities calendar had many musical events, which is very important to Azheimer's memories.

This is a wonderful facility. As soon as you walk in the door you know that they really care about their clients. As a caregiver I placed my father here and I can honestly say that if I should ever need this kind of care my family knows this is where I would want to be.
