Program Update: Adult Day Services is open and accepting new clients!

Our goal is simple: to help keep older adults independent, social, and in their homes.

In operation since 1977, Adult Day Services is the first of its kind facility in the Akron area. The program operates out of a free-standing building, that is not affiliated or attached to a nursing home.

Our program continues to evolve, grow and change to best meet the needs of older adults. Here's what makes Adult Day Services stand out from other adult care providers:

• Custom care groups
  We know that each individual situation can be dramatically different from that of other participants. That’s why we offer four custom care groups designed to improve independence and socialization through activities that strengthen physical and mental functioning. Our groups accommodate all levels of function from alert and highly functional participants to those in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
  
  
• Caring, compassionate staff
  The staff at Summit Adult Day Services is committed to providing the highest level of care for your loved one while treating everyone with dignity and respect. With a 1-6 staff to participant ratio, the caregivers are able to know your loved one personally and provide the assistance they may need. An on-site Licensed Social Worker maintains an on-going team approach to communicate with nurses, activity staff and caregivers.
