ABOUT OUR

Adult Day Care

about-adult-day-care

Magdala House’s Adult Day Care assists clients Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Clients take part in academic workshops and Occupational Therapy (OT) that support independence and personal growth. Workshops include reading, language, math, science, seasonal projects, and group discussions to build focus and social skills. These activities help improve memory, motor planning, and self-expression. In OT sessions, clients work on emotional regulation, coordination, and daily living skills—empowering them to engage more fully in life at the center and at home.

Day Care is a critical complementary component to  Independent Support Living (ISL) programs.

Jefferson spaces opened my eyes. I really appreciate their work. They feed us, we can shower, and it is a nice place to stay. I can relax, not looking over my shoulder. Doctors are available. This place brings me joy.

What I enjoy most about working at Magdala is the everyday success I see clients achieve. I enjoy supporting clients in creating normalcy in their homes, and I enjoy being around coworkers who live to advocate on behalf of our clients.
