The cost of our program is $43.07 per day for a full day. We take Medicaid and

4. Q: Is transportation provided?

Adult Day Health utilizes DART, Everett Transit, TAP, Escort and Medicaid
Brokerage. Unless the client is on Medicaid, the client/caregiver, with assistance from
the Social worker, is responsible for setting up transport.

5. How do I go about getting my loved one into the program?

The Social Worker will take down general information about the potential participant
and, if appropriate, a lunch visit will be scheduled. After the lunch visit, assuming the
potential participant is appropriate, an intake will be done by the Social Worker and four
trial days will be set up. If the participant is appropriate, as agreed upon by all staff, they
will be enrolled on a continuing basis.

6. My loved one is on a special diet. Will we need to provide his food and drink?

No. All dietary needs and concerns are made known to the cook and staff upon
enrollment, and we have the ability to follow most dietary regiments. Some examples
are: Cut up, processed or pureed foods, thickened liquids, low salt, low sugar, lactose
free, no caffeine, Ensure, etc.

7. What would my loved one do at your program?

We do a variety of activities throughout the day and keep them to approximately 45
minutes each in order to maintain the clients' attention span. We often splinter activities
from 1-4 at a time, due to the variety of levels our clients are at and the need for small
group interaction. Our activities include, but are not limited to, written activities, low-impact exercise, board games, active games, arts and crafts, entertainment, informative lectures, modality groups, and various therapies.

8. Do you take people who have health concerns?

We are able to handle a variety of diagnoses, including dementia/Alzheimer's,
cardiac involvement, strokes, diabetes, and various other medical concerns. We are
always monitoring and evaluating our clients' progress and will inform the
family/caregiver when our services are no longer adequate for the amount of care the
client requires.

9. I am interested in getting my loved one into some type of day care service, but I am not sure which program is appropriate.

The Social Worker will help you make that determination during your initial inquiry.
The appropriateness of our program will depend on the extent of your loved ones'
diagnosis, their ability to socialize, and the family's home and financial situation.
