Senior Day Services Enrollment

Enrollment
To enroll yourself or a loved one in 澳门六合彩官网直播 Senior Day Services, please contact Dawn Robarge at (269) 387-7995 to schedule a tour or enrollment appointment.

If you are interested in attending our program, we encourage you to start by having a short phone conversation to determine if the potential participant fits the profile for which the program is designed. Our goal during the initial telephone conversation is to determine if the individuals level of care needs is beyond our capacity. 

Tour and Trial Visit
We welcome family caregivers and the individual to take a tour of our program. During the tour, we also discuss the care needs of the participant, any challenging behaviors and any other pertinent information to ensure the individual will be a good fit.

The prospective participant is then invited to attend one session of the program as a no charge 鈥渢rial鈥 visit, with no commitment to enroll. During this shortened day, the prospective participant can spend time at the program and see if they enjoy it. If the client does well in the program and chooses to enroll, a schedule is set, normally for two or three days per week. The family caregiver is assisted in completion of all necessary enrollment information, transportation is arranged, a weekly schedule is made and the participant can begin attending our program.
