Adult day health care (“ADH”) is a structured program of health and supportive services designed to meet the individual needs of adults who need medical monitoring, supervision, personal assistance and socialization. Participants attend The Community Family’s (TCF) centers on a planned basis for two to five days a week, where they will receive the care they need. Some attend ADH programs for years, while others may attend for short-term support while transitioning back to their homes from hospitals or rehabilitation.
