Emotional Support: How Adult Day Care Centers Can Help

Getting the right kind of social and physical support is vital for overall wellbeing and self-esteem, as we age. Emotional support is a central plank of any care regime for the elderly and infirm. A friendly word and a smile show that people care – something that’s very important, for instance, in care homes.

At Fairview Adult Day Care Center in Brooklyn NY, we include emotional support in everything we do and all the services we provide. Apart from medical and nursing services, we provide social services in a pleasant and convivial setting.

Friendly staff who provide that extra bit of care and attention make all the difference to a client’s day. Our varied recreation program, rehab therapies, excellent facilities, and dedicated staff cater to all clients’ needs.

Medical professionals, social workers, and therapists are all there to ensure the overall physical and emotional well-being of clients. We organize fun and stress-busting activities such as singalongs, arts and crafts, chair yoga, and breathing meditation. Such activities help you relax and connect to those around you, boosting mental health and lifting your mood.

Emotional Support: How Can Social Workers Help?

Social workers play a key part in our work. They spend one-on-one time with clients, listening to their needs and providing emotional support. They do their best to resolve personal issues or challenges faced by clients.

Social workers can provide individual counselling as well as group therapies. Knowing that someone is on hand to listen to you is a great reassurance to clients and their loved ones.

All Nurses Are Involved in Providing Emotional Support

Nursing is the bedrock of all our work at Fairview. Nurses are case managers and care managers and get to know all our clients’ personally. They are a client’s first port of call. Nurses make appointments for clients, maintain documents and records, and report any health changes to doctors.

Our team of trained medical professionals help clients with medication and rehab.

They regularly check blood sugar levels and blood pressure and advise on diet and weight management. They assess clients and tweak their care plan as necessary.

Also, they advise on rehab and give tips on how to reduce stress and cope with anxiety. Importantly, like all other members of staff, they are a friendly face and provide emotional support.

Our aim at Fairview Adult Day Care Center is to maintain and develop our clients’ physical, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing. We look out for signs of deterioration and do our utmost to prevent any injuries, falls, or hospitalization. We do everything possible for them to live independently and avoid nursing homes.

Alongside medical care and rehab, a key component of the care we provide is emotional support.
