Coastside Adult Day Health Center

What we do: 
CADHC has been an active part of the community since 1982 serving the frail, elderly and disabled. Our goal is to keep people as healthy, active and independent as possible when advancing years or physical and mental conditions call for extra care and attention.

Why we do what we do:

We enrolled an 83-year-old Chinese woman with a diagnosis of late stage Alzheimer's. She primarily spoke Chinese, but understood English. Her cognitive functioning was very poor, she would not verbalize her needs and her affect was flat. She needed prompting just to eat. The family was responsible for her 24-hour care and desperately needed respite. After approximately two weeks of therapy and person centered care, she began to respond. She engaged in the activities, began speaking, and her flat expression changed to a smile. She was enjoying her self. The family was thrilled and felt better about getting the respite they needed and therefore they were able to remain caring for her at home. CADHC meets a dual purpose; we care for both the client and the family.
