The place helps adults and seniors with both health needs and social activities, offering certified and non-certified day care, medical model programs, and social model care. This center has supervised day programs for seniors, including personalized care, help with daily tasks like bathing, meals, medication management, and activities set up in a safe place, which can give family caregivers a short break if needed. Special care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia is there, with memory-enhancing programs and secure environments to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Nurses and CNA's give assistance with healthcare, medication, personal care, rehabilitation, wound care, and incontinence needs, so even people with complex health problems can come here for some company and skilled care.
There's a kitchen and game room, with a foosball table and a sewing machine, and indoor and outdoor seating so you'll see people doing cards, arts and crafts, sing-alongs, and light exercise together, and you might walk in on an art class, trivia game, yoga and chair yoga, karaoke, or even something like Wii bowling or a gardening club, which gets everyone talking and laughing or working with their hands. They sometimes have live musical shows, dance or theater performances, and even intergenerational programs to mix things up. Outings and transportation to and from the center are available, though sometimes for an extra fee, so folks have ways to come and go if their family can't drive them.
The facility has walk-in tubs, medication dispensers, and uses medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, or ADT Medical Alert along with home safety features and ID protection, since health and safety stay front and center here. The staff includes social workers who help with referrals and support for families, and everyone speaks English. The place also welcomes people looking for independent or assisted living, and offers different style suites where residents can have their own space and decorate to their liking.
Old Glory Days aims to keep seniors active, safe, and social, whether they need all-day care, some extra help, or are just looking for friends and things to do, and much of the day is spent in group activities or enjoying community areas, with social events that often have patriotic themes, and names for programs that reflect the "Old Glory Days" spirit, which seems to mean they care about celebrating traditions and community. Many kinds of senior care are available, from companion visits, home-based help, and respite stays, to nursing home services, and they try to support independence as much as possible. Care at Old Glory Days can change with your needs, so some folks stay in the day center, others get help at home, and some live on-site in maintenance-free comfort. With structured daily programs, lots of attention to safety and health, and a steady hand guiding new residents, Old Glory Days tries to give seniors and families peace of mind, company, and support in a friendly setting.
