Company Description
Feels Like Home is a unique take on adult daycare, which will be located in the city of Walnut Creek, CA. Our main objective is to serve the aging Baby Boomer population who are in the age of 65 and older, who meets all regulatory guidelines as outlined in the California Code of Regulation, Title 22, Division 3, Subdivision 1, Chapter 5.
Our day support center will operate 6 days a week, and welcomes all geriatric customers who are in need of nonmedical assistance such senior assistance, and social interaction among other elders who seek an active and healthy lifestyle. Business operation will start from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday, and Saturday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.
Today, many of the geriatric population are struggling to live life independently, and while some reside with their family member, they too have an obligation to work, and may not be available to aid the elder customer 24 hours a day. Feels Like Home can provide the safe and nurturing atmosphere for our elder customers while we foster the importance of independence with our geriatric community without imposing care from busy family members. Our services will include, but not limited to: * Seminars on legal concerns and aging issues pertinent to our customer’s needs. * Social interaction with other elders. * Dining options * Personal assistance with personal tasks. * Involvement with local community services * Accompanied visits to medical appointments with transportation.
At the moment, Adult Day Support Centers cost are not reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid. The cost for our services will be $25.00 per day, or they can enroll to our support center for $600 a month. We understand that each customer is unique, that is why we strive to maintain staffs that are caring, compassionate and empathetic to your personal need.
