Visit Our Adult Day Center
Catholic Charities offers care options for older adults who require some assistance in order to continue to live safely within the community, rather than in a nursing home or attendant care facility. Our adult day center provides partial and full day service for seniors enabling their caregivers to maintain employment and other family responsibilities.

The Adult Day Services Center also function as a resource hub for families and caregivers of older adults providing information on aging needs as well as educational opportunities and support groups for caregivers.
About Our Program
The Adult Day Services Center provides a safe, supervised setting that meets the varying daily care needs of the participants, while encouraging them to maintain self-help and social skills. Our Center is large enough to offer a wide range of services, yet small enough to respond personally and promptly to individual needs.
The Center provides certified nursing assistants to respond to care needs, varied daily programming based on participants' needs and wants, recreational activities, snacks and lunch in a beautiful, homelike setting. For additional fees, participants have access to on-site specialized bathing facilities, podiatrists, beauticians, and individual counseling sessions.
Adult Day Service participants benefit from the variety of activities, socialization and staff interaction. Participant medical conditions may include: stroke, arthritis, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, as well as developmental disabilities. Services are provided through private pay, State, County or Veteran Administration public benefits or reduced fees based on income eligibility.

Meet James
James and his wife Bessie have been married for 54 years and have called southeastern Wisconsin home for over fifty years. The couple has dedicated much of their lives to serving people in their communities, sharing love and care with their neighbors.
During his 36-year career at A.O. Smith, James felt a calling to serve people in need. Bessie encouraged him to reach out to others in service and love. James soon became a pastor. He and Bessie became familiar faces to neighbors in need, and supportive friends to many in their community.
When he retired, Pastor James eagerly went back to school. After a two-year program in Human Services, he used his compassion and wisdom as a counselor to young men struggling with substance abuse. James impacted many lives through service, and many more with his loving presence.
In 2016, James was diagnosed with dementia. Before long, he needed more care than Bessie could provide at home. After one of our community partners referred James and Bessie to Catholic Charities Adult Day Center, he joined us in 2018.
James receives care from trained and experienced staff in a home away from home atmosphere that meets his health and socialization needs. Members of the Adult Day Center engage in daily exercise, activities, lunch and nutritious snacks, and personal care services, as well as crafts and games. Bessie enjoys much needed respite during the day and time to care for herself, while James has the confidence of returning home to his beloved Bessie each day.
