Adult Day Program

Longview's Adult Day Program involves its participants in many of the activities our resident seniors do each day. Even more important, the program offers the opportunity to socialize with peers who share interests and experiences.  In a safe and secure atmosphere, seniors will find a stimulating social and recreational environment outside of the home.

A typical day at The Adult Day Program begins with everyone gathered around the table enjoying coffee and light conversation. Topics range from fitness to food, hobbies to holidays, drawing on lifelong favorite memories shared and enjoyed by all.

After coffee, everyone limbers up with a half hour or exercise in the auditorium. From then on each day offers varied activities, outlined in the weekly recreation calendar. There are word games, cards, Tai Chi, indoor bowling and horseshoes, baking, crafts, and countless other programs, all designed for the senior population. Everyone has a favorite activity, but one common thread runs through it all:  smiles and fun!

Currently the program runs every week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 9:00 to 3:00. Participants are free to choose a schedule that fits their individual needs. Some participants come all three days, others one or two, and some even participate for half-days. Full-day enrollment fee is $38 a day; half-day enrollment is $19 a day. Both full and half- day enrollment includes lunch with the Adult Day staff in the Longview dining room.
