Are you searching for a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for an aging parent or loved one during the day? Adult Day Services (ADS), a program of the First Tennessee Human Resource Agency, offers exactly that. Designed to promote physical, emotional, and social well-being, ADS provides comprehensive daytime care and enriching activities that can be transformative for both participants and their families.
Why Adult Day Services Matters
Caring for a loved one is a meaningful responsibility—but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Adult Day Services helps ease the burden on caregivers by offering reliable daytime care, allowing them time to work, rest, or handle personal tasks they may otherwise struggle to complete. Just as importantly, ADS offers a much-needed support system, giving caregivers the encouragement, connection, and peace of mind they often lack.
This program empowers caregivers to take care of their own physical and mental health, so they can continue to provide the best care possible at home.
Support for Older Adults
Adult Day Services is designed for older adults who may be facing physical, emotional, cognitive, or social challenges—including those who are frail due to age or affected by conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia. The program encourages independence and purpose, offering stimulating activities that promote overall well-being.
Participants benefit from a wide range of services, including:
● Nutritious meals and snacks (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack)
● Round-trip transportation
● Daily exercise and socialization
● Volunteer and community engagement
● Medication reminders and health monitoring
● An on-site nurse and nutritional guidance
● Specialized care and activities for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia
Engaging Daily Activities
Each day at ADS is filled with opportunities for joy, movement, and connection. Participants can enjoy a variety of activities tailored to their needs and interests, such as:
● Games, crafts, and fitness classes
● Gym-based activities
● Health education and pet therapy
● Regional field trips, picnics, and birthday celebrations
● Meaningful volunteer opportunities
These experiences are designed to keep minds active, spirits high, and bodies moving.
A Lasting Impact for Families
Adult Day Services supports not just the individuals who attend, but their entire caregiving network. The program fosters a sense of purpose, boosts emotional resilience, and enhances overall quality of life—for both participants and caregivers.
Whether you're exploring care options for the first time or seeking extra support during the day, Adult Day Services is here to help. Referrals are always welcome, and we look forward to meeting new families ready to experience the benefits of this life-changing program.
"She’s more outgoing, loves interactions with her friends, and looks forward to coming every day. The staff is wonderful, and I’m just glad that we have this program that allows me time to work and do things for myself that I normally wouldn’t get to do. Adult Day Services has changed both of our lives, and I don’t know what she would do without it.” – Vicki, Client Caregiver
