SarahCare of Kingwood

Where in Kingwood can you find a baseball game in which a 94-year-old woman hits home runs? The answer is: SarahCare Adult Day Care Center in the Northpark Plaza Our Center provides day care for elderly and disabled adults in the Kingwood, Humble and Atascocita area. It is the first-of-its-kind adult day care program in Texas. SarahCare has become a place of respite for caregivers with an aging parent or relative, many with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, who can't be left home alone during the day. Not only do the participants benefit from this stimulation, the caregivers do too. Caregivers tell us that going to SarahCare makes a difference in their loved ones' happiness and alertness when they return home. A typical day for SarahCare participants starts between 7-9:30 a.m. for a light breakfast. Half of the caregivers head for work while the other half use SarahCare just to provide their elderly relative with social interaction and peer group friendships. Participants can stay until 6 p.m. or just drop in for a few hours. SarahCare offers catered hot meals with menus created by a registered dietician. A registered nurse, certified nursing assistants, social worker and activities specialist are also part of the care-giving team at SarahCare. We recommend that participants attend SarahCare a minimum of two days a week. Like a child in pre-school, an elderly participant needs time to build a routine and adjust to new surroundings.
