How can Oxnard Family Circle help?

Oxnard Family Circle has an exemplary Adult Day Program that provides long-term care to memory-deficient individuals and also provides assistance with feeding and showering if necessary. Special diets or meal preparation can be accommodated and monitored to ensure that all participants are receiving proper nutrition and care. Members of the Adult Day Program also have the privilege of participating in outings such as trips to restaurants, parks, or nature walks. Transportation is provided to and from the center on a daily basis, and for outings as well.

 Research studies show that regular attendance at adult day health care centers substantially decreases one’s chance of falling or having an accident that would require a visit to the hospital or emergency room. (http://www.adsnac.org/How_We_Help/Health_Professionals/researchstudies.htm)

Why is Oxnard Family Circle’s Adult Day Program effective?

Oxnard Family Circle ADHC is an ideal place for individuals with memory deficiencies who might otherwise be alone at home. Many caregivers have jobs or other obligations to attend to during the day, and this can often lead to their loved one being unattended at home. Being isolated and having a lack of stimulation (mental, social and/or physical) can be extremely detrimental to a person’s physical and mental health. Often times, it can contribute to forgetfulness or irritability; or simply cause a sense of depression due to a sedentary lifestyle.

Oxnard Family Circle wakes up the individual’s mind by providing a combination of both familiar everyday activities and exciting events to break routine. Oxnard Family Circle ADHC provides a well-rounded program that addresses all of the needs of participants on a daily basis; this includes transportation, two home-cooked meals, physical exercise, mental and social stimulation, and entertaining activities. Participating in the Adult Day Program helps individuals build and maintain relationships by being able to spend time with one another on a regular basis, and being able to share mutual memories such as outings with one another or other special events. The Adult Day Program’s outings give participants the advantage of being able to go to places they normally may not be able to attend. Oxnard Family Circle also puts a strong focus on diet and preparing healthy, high-quality food for all participants twice a day. Good nutrition is vital to the mind as well as the body, and some individuals may struggle with healthy eating or eating at regular intervals.
