At Golden State Adult Day Care Center (ADHC), we understand that every senior is unique, with their own individual needs, preferences, abilities, and goals. That’s why we believe in providing personalized care plans that are tailored to meet the specific requirements of each participant. We’re not a one-size-fits-all program!
What Are Personalized Care Plans?
Personalized care plans are individualized strategies developed in collaboration with the senior, their family, and our care team. These plans outline the specific services, activities, and support that will be provided to help each participant thrive and achieve their personal goals.
The Golden State ADHC Approach to Personalized Care:
Our approach to personalized care is comprehensive and compassionate. We take the time to get to know each participant and their family, understanding their individual circumstances, challenges, and aspirations.
Here's how we create personalized care plans at Golden State ADHC:
- Initial Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment to gather information about the senior’s medical history, physical and cognitive abilities, social and emotional well-being, interests, and preferences.
- Family Consultation: We meet with the senior and their family to discuss their needs and goals, answer any questions, and involve them in the care planning process. We value open communication and collaboration.
- Individualized Plan Development: Based on the assessment and family consultation, our care team develops a personalized care plan that outlines the specific services, activities, and support that will be provided.
- Regular Monitoring & Evaluation: We continuously monitor the senior’s progress and evaluate the effectiveness of the care plan. We make adjustments as needed to ensure the plan remains relevant and meets the evolving needs of the participant.
- Ongoing Communication: We maintain ongoing communication with the senior and their family to provide updates, address any concerns, and ensure they are fully informed and involved in the care process.
What Services and Activities Might Be Included in a Personalized Care Plan?
The specific services and activities included in a personalized care plan will vary depending on the individual’s needs and preferences. Some examples include:
- Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility assistance.
- Medication Management: Medication reminders, assistance with medication administration, and communication with physicians.
- Cognitive Stimulation: Memory games, puzzles, current events discussions, and other activities designed to stimulate cognitive function.
- Physical Activities: Gentle exercises, chair yoga, and walking programs tailored to individual abilities.
- Social and Recreational Activities: Group games, outings, special events, and other activities designed to promote socialization and engagement.
- Nutritional Support: Assistance with meal planning, preparation, and feeding, as well as monitoring of nutritional intake.
- Emotional Support: Individual counseling, group therapy, and other services designed to address emotional needs and promote well-being.
- Transportation: Arranging transportation to and from medical appointments or activities.

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.
