Daily Living Center
Why We Exist
Our mission is to maximize individual independence, dignity, and quality of life for adults, as well as for their caregivers, by providing exceptional adult day health care, advocacy, and education.
What We Do
The center provides socialization and recreational activities in a safe, structured and warm environment, health monitoring and medication management by licensed professionals, hot noon meal and snacks with a staff to client ratio of 6 to 1, restorative nursing care program and a monthly caregiver’s support group. The DLC is invaluable in providing the community with safe, professional care for adults while allowing their caregivers and families a much needed respite or to continue to work outside the home and remain financially solvent. Payment eligibility for services includes private pay, Medicaid reimbursement through the Elderly or Disabled with Consumer Direction, EDCD waiver, and we are contracted through the Veterans Administration to serve eligible veterans.
Who We Serve
Adults 18 and over in Augusta County, Staunton, Waynesboro and surrounding areas with a debilitating disease, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, stroke, closed head trauma, the intellectually challenged and others who require medical supervision and/or an individual who is not capable of fully independent living at home.
Where We Serve
Why Community Members Support Our Work
The DLC is seeking funding to provide fee assistance for participants who do not qualify for other funding and to supplement funding source shortfalls, which include our low-income Medicaid participants. Many of our participants could not attend the DLC without supplemental assistance, impacting the financial and mental well-being of the participants and their caregivers. Other options for families of adult dependents are considerably more expensive. The DLC provides high-quality care for 50% of the cost of a home health care aide and 30% of the cost of a nursing home. In addition,the DLC provides a much greater spectrum of personal care than either of these other options.
Currently our Medicaid reimbursement pays $57.05/day for a 10 hour day of care. Veterans reimbursement pays $67.00/day per per veteran. Our private pay rate is currently $80/day for a 10 hour day of care.
For our last fiscal year, by providing adult day health care services, a total of 16 caregiver/families of low-income dependent adults continued to work and remained financially sustainable. The value of dollars saved for these families by coming to the center rather than being placed in a long-term care facility was a total of $419,904.
