Adult day care costs $99/day, with a 2 day/week minimum! My Sweetheart of 54 years has AD. He was diagnosed 9 years ago. I'd like to give him the experience of adult day care, but it is so expensive. I have activities for him to do every day, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what they do at the day care centers that maybe I can add to our home activities. We have coloring, dot-to-dots, stickers, one game on the computer. I'd like to add more but can't think of anything else. I would certainly like to hear what y'all do..... I don't really want to rely on the TV for entertainment.
One of the great aspects of adult day is the benefit of social interactions.
ADC programs. Perhaps they would be cheaper?
In the alternate, even one or two days a week would help.
Is there anything you can do to cut costs to afford the daycare? I know that's probably a bad question but I know there are sometimes people that say they don't have money to spend on X but they could if they really wanted to. Not saying this is you, but just making sure not. If you have money saved for your retirement - this is the perfect thing to use it for, IMHO.
