Adult Day Health Program

Adult Day Program in Fairfax

Insight Memory Care Center’s adult day health center provides a safe, engaging, and therapeutic environment for people with memory impairment throughout the stages of the disease. It is the only dementia-specific day center in the DC metro area and still the only adult day health center in Northern Virginia with programs for people in the later stages of a memory impairment.

The Basics

The Day Center is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Participants can attend from two to five days a week, and for the hours that work best for their schedules. Our participants thrive on a structured daily program, so unfortunately we cannot accept drop-in requests. The Day Center offers:

• A secure and safe environment
• Staff ratio that exceeds state licensure requirements
• Structured activities on regularly scheduled days of attendance
• Highly trained, multi-lingual staff
• Health monitoring and medication management by nursing staff
• Assistance with personal care, including mealtime and incontinence care
• Individualized participant care plan with goals
• Person-centered programming and activities
• Physical therapy and exercise program
• Two meals and two snacks offered daily
• Assistance with arranging low-cost transportation, if needed
• Financial assistance available
• A warm and loving environment with friends!

Levels of Care

At Insight, we prioritize providing person-centered care. From initial Participant Lifestyle Biographies to updated quarterly care plans, we use each participant’s likes, dislikes, strengths, and interests to plan programming that best fit their current needs. Our Day Center is divided into three levels of care: Blue, Orange, and Coral. Our day center-wide staff ratio exceeds the 1:6 state requirement.

Activities

The Day Program utilizes a person-centered care approach to provide an environment that focuses on people’s strengths rather than their memory limitations, addressing the needs of the total person: physical, mental, and emotional. Recreational Therapy activities are designed for participants to restore motor, social and cognitive functioning, build confidence, develop coping skills, and of course, have fun!

Activities are offered across several domains, including: Cognitive, Creative, Movement & Physical, Social, Productive and Sensory, Reflective, Outdoor and Nature. Each level of care has it’s own monthly calendar with activities adapted for the group.
