The Adult Day Center of Somerset County provides a wonderful service for our elderly and disabled residents living in the Bridgewater area. Started over thirty years ago and one of the first of its kind in New Jersey, the center provides affordable social and medical services for seniors and the disabled. It strives to enable folks to remain home with their families rather than reside at a full-time institution.
The Center is like day camp for seniors, allowing them the opportunity to socialize as well as receive many other necessary services such as a full-time nurse who is on-site each day, a pharmacist, and weekly dietician visits.
Additional services offered include exercise programs, field trips, counseling, entertainment, beautician/barber services and support groups, just to name a few. Moreover, the center can arrange transport to nearby Somerset Medical Center for medical or therapeutic treatment as needed.
From a personal perspective, my grandmother attended this center and received haircuts, enjoyed a pianist, played Bingo, heard singers, and enjoyed other entertainment. Therefore, I know first-hand the incredible difference the center makes on people’s lives.
The Adult Day Center is located in Bridgewater and will be opening its doors to a brand new, beautiful building on Thursday, March 22nd from 6-8pm. For more information please contact Hilary at (908) 725-0068.
