Your Questions Answered

We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help guide you through the process of choosing adult day health care services.

At Golden State ADHC, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and supportive environment for seniors and adults with disabilities. As a leading Adult Day Care center in Alhambra, California, we understand that each individual has unique needs, and we strive to meet those needs with a wide range of personalized services.

A cornerstone of our program is our skilled nursing services. Our experienced nurses provide medication management, monitor vital signs such as blood pressure and weight, and assist with chronic disease management. We also offer personal care assistance, helping participants with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, promoting independence and dignity.

To support physical and cognitive well-being, we offer a variety of therapeutic and stimulating activities. Our therapeutic services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, all designed to promote rehabilitation and improve function. We also provide cognitive stimulation through memory games, current events discussions, puzzles, and other activities aimed at enhancing cognitive function and keeping minds active. We know how important it is to build relationships, so we do all that we can.

Beyond the medical and therapeutic aspects, we emphasize the importance of social connection and engagement. Our program includes a variety of social and recreational activities, such as group games, arts and crafts, music therapy, outings, and special events, all designed to foster socialization and combat isolation. We know that nutritious meals are another important piece, so our team is ready to help get those needs supported too.

Finally, we strive to make our Adult Day Care program accessible to all. We offer transportation assistance with door-to-door services within a designated area. We also provide valuable respite to family caregivers, offering them peace of mind knowing their loved one is in a safe and caring environment. Our goal is to provide you comfort. At Golden State ADHC, we are committed to providing high-quality, compassionate Adult Day Care services that meet the diverse needs of our participants and their families.

Navigating the complexities of insurance coverage for senior care can be challenging, and understanding what benefits are available for Adult Day Care is an important step in planning for your loved one’s care. While Medicare typically doesn’t directly cover the costs of long-term Adult Day Care programs, there are situations where it might provide limited coverage for skilled nursing or rehabilitative services received within our center.

Medicaid coverage for Adult Day Care varies greatly by state. In California, Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program) may offer coverage for Adult Day Care services to eligible individuals who meet specific medical and financial criteria. It’s essential to contact your local Medi-Cal office or a benefits specialist to determine your eligibility and understand the scope of coverage.

In addition to government programs, some private long-term care insurance policies may cover Adult Day Care services. The extent of coverage depends on the specific policy terms and conditions, so it’s crucial to carefully review your policy or contact your insurance provider for clarification. We at Golden State ADHC are also happy to help you look at the insurance options that are there.

It’s also worth exploring other potential funding sources, such as Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, which may provide assistance to eligible veterans and their families. Our staff is familiar with these options and can provide guidance on navigating the application process. Because each situation is unique, we encourage you to contact Golden State ADHC directly so we can learn about your specific circumstances and help you explore all available payment options.

Yes, Golden State ADHC understands that transportation can be a significant challenge for many seniors and their families seeking quality Adult Day Care services. To ensure our program is accessible to as many individuals as possible, we offer transportation assistance within a designated service area.

We work closely with participants and their families to determine the best transportation arrangements based on individual needs and locations. Depending on availability and location, we provide door-to-door assistance to help our people best get to Golden State ADHC.

For those who live outside our direct transportation service area, we are happy to work with families to identify alternative transportation options.
