Irene Swindells Center for Adult Day Services
A program for persons with mild to moderate memory loss
Irene Swindells Center for Adult Day Services, developed collaboratively by California Pacific Medical Center and the Institute on Aging (IOA) Opens new window, is a social-model adult day program in San Francisco designed to serve individuals with mild to moderate memory loss without additional significant health care needs. In our new state-of-the-art facility, located on California Pacific's California Campus, participants can engage in a variety of activities that provide mental stimulation and promote physical health.
Our goal is to provide a structured program of activities in a supportive environment designed to create individual successes. Additionally, our caring staff of trained professionals provides education and support for family caregivers, enhancing the quality of life for everyone touched by memory loss.
How do we help persons with memory loss?
In the early stages of memory loss, individuals have different mental, emotional, and physical needs than when the disease progresses. Our structured activity program and unique environment address this early stage by:
- Promoting physical health and increased mental stimulation through a variety of indoor and outdoor games, exercise, and dance.
- Encouraging creativity through a mixture of visual and performing arts activities.
- Decreasing isolation through socialization and sharing of experiences.
- Developing specialized activities based on individual abilities and interests.
- Assisting with personal care where needed.
How do we help caregivers?
Caring for a family member with memory loss can be an overwhelming task, both emotionally and physically. Caregivers can become frustrated and even angry without support and rest. In addition to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with early stage memory loss, we also strive to enhance the quality of life for caregivers by:
- Providing professional advice about planning for on-going care.
- Offering support and educational groups.
- Allowing caregivers regular, uninterrupted periods of time away from caregiving.
Program Costs
Services are available on a tiered hourly and daily participation rate. The cost is based on the number of scheduled days and hours per month. Schedules are established, based on the needs of the participant and the caregiver.
