Aging Matters
The Benefits of Adult Day Care
Many older adults want to stay in their homes and communities as they age, but for those who need more care, this option is out of reach. Adult day services, like those provided by FiftyForward in Nashville, Tennessee, offer community members a nutritious lunch and activity. Programs like these can also play a role in combating isolation and loneliness.
