Horizon House affirms the desire of residents to remain independent and to “age in place.” Residents in need of additional support often call upon the help of family members or private caregivers.  Horizon House now offers Adult Day Services for residents with physical or cognitive challenges, or who are experiencing social isolation, fresh opportunities to enjoy companionship, become immersed in meaningful activities, and engage in special events such as musical programs.  Adult Day Services will also provide assistance for caregivers, especially spouses, who can attend to other aspects of life secure in the knowledge that loved ones are receiving excellent supplemental care. 

Adult Day Services are available through Supported Living in the Memory Support Neighborhood, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Residents may participate in Adult Day Services from one to five days a week, in the most beneficial time period during hours of operation. For example, one resident might participate two days a week for five hours each time while his spouse does chores or shopping and enjoys lunch out with a friend.  Another resident might participate five times a week for two hours a day, so that her spouse is able to engage in an exercise routine.

Charges cover initial and ongoing assessment, staff support including nursing, social services, activities and medical records, and lunch or snacks as needed during the time of attendance. The Half Day fee is $35 for three hours or less, and $60 for a Full Day period of more than three hours. If you are interested in learning more about Adult Day Services, or would like to sign up a participant, please call me at 206-382-5460 or e-mail Lauriw@horizonhouse.org.
