Your First Encounter:
When you call the Adult Center for Enrichment to inquire about our
services the staff is always willing to explain our wonderful programs.
Many of you may have heard about us but want to know more precisely
about what it is we do. The answer is always the same; we provide
a safe and stimulating environment for adults with special needs.
We love to share some of the great activities we do when we are
together; such as, those that stimulate our physical and mental
capacities: armchair aerobics, pet therapy, active games such as
horse shoes, arts and crafts, field trips, musical guests, singing
and dancing, gardening, volunteering in the community, and much,
much more. Best of all are the new friendships made.
The Process:
At this point in the conversation you will receive information
about the programs we offer as well as the locations. We suggest
that you visit one or all of the locations to see the programs in
action. If you are interested in enrolling your loved one based
on the telephone conversation you will be asked for some general
information about yourself and your loved one. Then an appointment
is scheduled with the Care Manager to meet with you at the program
and location of your choice.
 Your
Visit:
When you are coming to meet with the Care Manager we ask that
your family member come to the center as well so that he/she can
become familiar with our program. We feel it is important for both
of you to witness our program in action to get a true feel of the
inviting and engaging atmosphere we offer to our adults. While your
family member is being introduced to the participants of our program,
you and the Care Manager will go into another area of the center
to begin the enrollment process. This process generally lasts 45
minutes to an hour during which you will provide additional information.
The Program Director will meet both of you to learn as much as possible
about you. The last component needed to complete the enrollment
process is a Medical Examination Report to be filled out by the
doctor.
Resources:
When the visit is coming to an end, you will receive an information
packet containing much of what was discussed during the visit because
we know what an overload care giving can be and we want to make
this process as smooth as possible. We pride ourselves in providing
the kind of quality program to keep you wanting to keep coming back.
