Elderhaus Adult Day Programs, sitting at 605 S Shields St in Fort Collins, Colorado, offer day care services for seniors and adults with disabilities who need daytime supervision, care, and some extra help, so people stay engaged while they keep living at home if they can. Elderhaus Adult Day Programs have designed their services with older adults in mind, focusing on health, nutrition, supervision, and different activities that really help keep people busy and talking with each other, so no one spends the day alone if they don't want to. The program runs out of an 11,000-square-foot facility with two main buildings, including an industrial kitchen, garden area, exercise room, art room, and a separate building for occupational therapy, so there's always something to be doing, whether that's making art, working in the garden, walking or just relaxing with others near the sunny windows or out in one of the five nearby parks if the weather's good.
Elderhaus Adult Day Programs provide full-day care, including meals and snacks, personal care like bathing and toileting, direct health monitoring, medication administration, and help with things like dementia or incontinence care, so every participant gets needs met according to their own care plan, with the staff ready to adjust these plans as things change. Transportation services help people get to and from the program safely, which is useful for families who need help covering the day when they're busy or working, and it gives caregivers valuable respite. The staff and volunteers-there were 498 of them putting in over 16,000 hours at last count-work to make sure no one's left out, with programs like Mindset or the health-focused Operation Salud, and keep up direct connection with doctors and healthcare providers for regular checkups.
The program includes healthy meals (over 15,382 served in 2015), snacks, and well-planned social and recreational activities; there are activities inside and out, like gardening, art, games, and group exercise, with amenities and staff aiming to make things as easy and friendly as possible. Community involvement is strong, with lots of events, plus close access to hospitals, pharmacies, and 36 restaurants around if families or participants want variety. Elderhaus is focused on keeping a safe, supportive environment where seniors and adults with disabilities can stay active, social, and connected to the community, while letting families feel confident about their loved one's daily care. The service really centers on meeting every person's needs flexibly, using detailed personal care plans, and supporting independence for as long as possible.
