He was without air for a time, causing brain damage. As a working single parent, I chose to care for Stephen at home rather than put him in a nursing home. Abilene Adult Day Care has played a vital part in our lives since then. There is always a nurse to give meds. Activities range from playing bingo to going shopping, movies, Bible study, singing, trips to the Fair, groups coming in to entertain.
Aides furnish general care.
Bus service picks up clients, takes them to appointments and brings them home. Nutritious breakfasts, lunches and snacks are provided. Stephen enjoys being around the clients and workers. I know now that I should have kept up closer to make sure finances were managed so the AADC would be available for so many families that need this service so they can work to provide for their loved ones. I would have to alter my work schedule if the center closes because private care is so expensive.
