Adult Day Services For
Young Adults
Life-altering diseases and health issues are not restricted to elderly loved ones. Many young adults also need assistance around the clock for seizure disorders, traumatic brain injuries, intellectual disabilities, and more. Independent Adult Day Centers can provide adults ages 18 and over with the professional and compassionate care they deserve.
IADC’s Adult Day Services program is unique in that it allows your loved one to live at home and visit one of three Indianapolis area locations during the day. Guests enjoy nutritious meals, social activities, community outings, and much more. If your loved one needs to receive medical care while at one of our centers, our staff of healthcare professionals is there to provide the medical services they need while in a home-like environment. You’ll have the peace of mind of knowing your loved one is being well taken care of and celebrated at our centers while you’re working or receiving the respite you may need to focus on yourself for a few hours.
Independent Adult Day Centers also provides in-home services including Home Care, Home Health Care, and Healthcare Coordination. Contact us today to learn more about our services or to schedule a tour of one of our centers.
Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) require substantial support to live and participate in the community independently. The physical and cognitive barriers that a person with IDD presents require more specialized services, which can be difficult to manage and navigate without the proper assistance. The “My Day, My Way” program is geared toward individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. The purpose of the program is to create an environment of inclusivity to foster the personalized goals of the person based off one’s interests and abilities. Our structured day programming and our medical team oversight allows for reliable engagement and care for the individual, as well as peace of mind for the caregiver.
Types of Young Adults IADC Serves
IADC welcomes young adults with exceptional warmth and expertise. Our daytime services are ideal for young men and women who need supervision and professional assistance with Activities of Daily Living and medical care. We care for young adults with the following types of conditions and more:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Some of the most common causes of traumatic brain injury in young adults include motor vehicle accidents, falls, physical assaults, and sports-related accidents. Depending on the severity of the brain injury, your loved one or family member may need constant supervision. IADC’s Adult Day Services fosters a sense of independence and community around them while they’re at the center throughout the day. We have a team of experienced LPNs and RNs and other health care professionals on-site to provide medical attention when needed.
- Seizure Disorders. Seizures can come on suddenly with little warning. While fully immersed in activities and socialization within our centers, guests with seizure disorders are closely monitored so medical assistance can be administered when required. Our medical staff is expertly trained to recognize warning signs of potential seizures and follow the proper procedures to administer them care. With a higher-than-average guest-to-employee ratio, you can rest assured knowing your loved one is receiving attention and is stimulated at Independent Adult Day Centers.
- Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. If your loved one has an intellectual or developmental disability, it can be challenging to take care of their needs 24/7. IADC offers respite for you and independence for your loved one. Guests form a sense of community and receive stimulation with our daytime services. Our structured day programming and our medical team oversight allows for reliable engagement and care for the individual, and peace of mind of the caregiver.
