Medical Adult Day Care

Medical adult day care provides a place where someone requiring supervision can spend the day and have the opportunity to socialize and receive medical care.

The St. Catherine Adult Day Care Program allows individuals to live at home and enjoy a social network that can eliminate feelings of isolation. It can also reduce the stress that family, friends and caregivers may experience in managing an individual’s needs.
