Homelink runs a non-profit adult day center and senior care community with its main location on Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia and another in Rockville Centre, New York, and they welcome people aged 60 and over, focusing on those who need help with daily tasks or want to stay active, and you'll find the place close to parks, stores, hospitals, coffee shops, restaurants, transportation, and even theaters, so it's in a spot where folks get what they need or just enjoy a walk nearby, and they offer many kinds of care including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and both weekday adult day programs and Alzheimer's care. The whole place is part of The Social Care Network and uses a resource platform called findhelp to connect people to services like social care support, health programs, and legal resources, and you'll see they're tied in with different hospitals and health care, plus several HRSA-supported health centers. The day programs give older adults a place to spend time during the week, since Homelink doesn't run on weekends, and the staff includes nurses, social workers, and therapists who help with everything from basic care like bathing and dressing to wound care, tube feeding, medication management, and special diets like diabetic or therapeutic menus, and they've got services for people living with dementia, too, plus help for families and caregivers.
Homelink has transportation options with SEPTA ParaTransit, Med Transit, Rapid Transit, and other services, and staff will even help fill out transportation applications, which makes coming and going less of a worry, and you'll see folks get help finding doctors or specialists since staff coordinate with primary care doctors and arrange lab work or mobile diagnostics right on site. They offer programs for physical health, like occupational or physical therapy, but you'll also find music therapy, dance, art therapy, and other activities that help people stay mentally and socially active, and you can see people meeting new friends or joining in group events. For those who need more medical support, Homelink provides nursing from RNs, medication administration, podiatry, eye care, and access to outpatient rehab, so people don't have to travel far for these services. Homelink is VA-approved for adult day center services, and they're part of the Pennsylvania Adult Day Services Association, which means they can help veterans and work with state and federal healthcare programs, including the Affordable Care Act.
They create a daily routine with structured recreation, therapy, group meals, music, and sometimes relaxation events, all designed to help older adults either strengthen old skills or find new ways to take care of themselves, keeping everyone included regardless of age, race, or background, and you'll notice an emphasis on personal growth, self-expression, and making sure that care fits each person's needs and cultural background. Families often use Homelink for extra support or as respite, and the staff also offer caregiver education and long-term care planning, so families don't have to figure everything out alone. They've got a website where people can find directions, look at available floor plans, or use the provider finder tool to locate adult day services, and you'll find office hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM, giving flexibility during the week. Inside, you'll see rooms set up for group activities, space for therapy, and programs for those interested in behavioral health and recovery, along with a health library, symptom checker, and other learning resources.
Homelink covers Southeast Pennsylvania and runs as a multi-service organization, helping people arrange home care, respite in other facilities, and ongoing benefits counseling, so there's support for every stage, and their service coordination teams work to match each participant with the right help. The community brings together trained, caring staff and a mix of medical, social, and recreational services, all to give older adults a safe, engaging place during the day, while being close to amenities and healthcare, with transportation options that make it easier for people to stay connected.
