Uinta Senior Citizens Evanston Adult Day Care, also called Uinta Senior Citizens Center, sits at 1229 Uinta Street in Evanston, WY, and tries to give older adults a place to spend the day with supervision, activities, and some support. The place opens during the daytime, so seniors needing help with eating, dressing, or hygiene can come for as long as they're there and their caregivers get a break. Staff offers homemaking like light housekeeping and meal preparation, and meals come in two ways-either served right there or brought to peoples' homes if they can't leave. Folks who qualify by income can get a lot of help for free, and if someone earns a bit more, they can pay based on a sliding scale.
They have personal care available, and if someone needs hospice or home health aide help, the Center can set that up too, including medical setup and home health through the Wyoming Home Services (WYHS) program. For someone who lives at home and wants to stay there, staff can coordinate things like medication reminders, health screening, tele-health, remote patient monitoring, or even help set up a Personal Emergency Response System called Lifeline. They offer medical loan closet items to any client who needs special equipment for a while.
The Center seems to try and make the day interesting, hosting regular meals, planned exercise classes, quilting, pool, band practice, crafts, horseshoes, cards, bowling, bingo, bunko, pinochle, and even big barbecues or sing-a-longs. There's an arts room, barber/salon, garden, walking paths, and sometimes residents plan their own activities. Transportation's available to help seniors get to the center or run errands, and when people need medical appointments, the Center's staff will line that up or at least coordinate transportation.
The goal at Uinta Senior Citizens Center really seems to be helping seniors stay independent while giving them socialization, daily monitoring, nutritious food (through things like the CACFP Food Program), and support through things like care management, respite care, electronic visit verification, and the My Adult Care Hub program. If families want a safe, supervised, and engaging place for their relatives during the day, this center works with seniors and their doctors to make a plan, offers help with bathing or medication if it's needed, and keeps things safe with 24-hour call systems and attentive staff, making it a practical choice for folks who want daytime supervision but prefer home and community life over moving to a nursing home.
