The Adult Day Center program will begin operating again on Tuesday, Aug. 25, after operations were shut down at the end of May.
The Adult Day Center started in 2003 and serves those 50 and over who can no longer remain at home alone. “We provide supervised care in a home-like setting with planned daily activities that are structured and mentally stimulating,” said the Ajax Turner Senior Center’s website.
The program offers supervised care in a home-like setting, activities to promote/maintain physical, cognitive and social health, offerings of nutritional snacks and balanced meals, among other considerations.
Family of many ADC members spoke out following its closure with concerns about their loved ones having their lives being disrupted; now, members can return to the Clark Street facility with some resemblance of normalcy and come together with friends once again.
Clarksville Now has reached out to Senior Center Board Chairman Jimmy Parker for comment.
