Senior Day Habilitation

AHRC's Senior Day Habilitation services are to provide a choice of meaningful
and functional activities for older participants who need a change of pace.
In an atmosphere that encourages older individuals to maintain and even
enhance their quality of life, senior day hab offers a unique experience where
content is directed by the participants.
Based on the interest of the participants, the Day Hab staff supports them in
their participation of activities typical senior citizens may pursue. Individuals
choose activities which include arts and crafts classes, bingo, and golf.
Most participants in the Senior Day Hab program have "retired" from other
types of programs. The services provided help maintain their independence,
productivity and sense of responsibility. A focus on nutritional routines that
meet the changing needs of the elderly; the maintenance of good hygiene
and grooming; attention to good health and exercise; and the development of
interest and participation in a broad range of activities comprise the Senior
Day Hab experience. In addition, individuals needing to receive physical
therapy, occupational therapy, speech or nursing services can be provided
with these services during their Day Hab experience.
Individuals must be eligible for Medicaid Service Coordination services and
have a medicaid benefits card. Contact the Day Hab Admission Coordinator
for enrollment information at (631) 585-0100.
