“My mother wanted to maintain her independence, staying in her home. But the days were long, and we worried that she would forget her medication or fall while we were at work. My brothers and I looked into many places, but nothing felt like ‘home’ the way Landis Adult Day Services does. She loves visiting ‘the girls’ four days a week, and their exercise time has really increased her stamina. This program has truly transformed each day for our family.”
–From a client’s daughter

How do we begin the admissions process?
Contact us to have an information packet mailed to you and to arrange a tour of the center.
Does my loved one have to stay for the whole day?
Your loved one is free to arrive and depart at any time during our hours of operation. We have a full-day and half-day option for attendance. Half-day is up to 4 hours; a full-day is any period longer than 4 hours.
Does my loved one need to attend every day of the week?
Some clients attend just 1-2 days per week; some attend 5 days per week. Space availability and the needs of the client and family determine attendance.
Can my loved one come any day?
We maintain a maximum number of clients each day; clients choose specific days of attendance when beginning participation in the center. If changes to that schedule are needed or desired, family members may contact the manager of the center to determine if a day can be added or changed to another day.
