Family members, clients and board members of Abilene's only adult day care center met last week to discuss the future of the center, which has about 20 clients.
Clients are either elderly or mentally or physically handicapped and unable to care for themselves.
During last week's meeting, family members said they want to try raising funds to keep the center operating. The families of the clients are the ones instigating this. The president of the day care's board of directors endorsed the planned effort. We would like to see the center continue. Abilene Adult Day Care has cared for elderly or disabled adults since 1984, but recent funding problems prompted board members to announce the program must close.
