St. Anthony Adult Day Center
St. Anthony Adult Day Center, located on the main campus of Rose-Mary Center on Euclid Avenue in Euclid has been serving the community since 1996. Originally operating from The Center for Pastoral Leadership in Wickliffe, St. Anthony’s moved to Rose-Mary in March 2009.
The Center is a non-sectarian, community-based structured care program providing supervision, respite and socialization for adults who do not require skilled nursing. It is managed and operated by Rose-Mary Center in conjunction with Catholic Charities Health and Human Services Corporation.
St. Anthony’s program provides a safe environment designed to enrich the lives of participants, and enables caregivers time away to meet other work and family responsibilities. It offers respite to caregivers and enables them to meet other work and family responsibilities, preventing premature placement in a nursing home when no one is available to watch over a loved one during the day. Enrollment is based on an individual assessment by a team of professionals with specialties in social work, nursing, adult activities and developmental disabilities.
A typical day at St. Anthony’s may include lively conversations on current event topics from the newspaper, activities such as bocce ball, horseshoes and bowling, as well as opportunities for participants to express their creative talents by designing art projects that are in step with the seasons and holidays. For those who are physically able, field trips may also be a part of daily activities. Recent outings included attending the Home and Garden Show at the newly renovated Cleveland Expo Center in Euclid and the Health Fair sponsored by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging.
Daily activities are structured, but also provide flexibility to meet the social and physical needs of the participants. At the same time every activity is designed to keep participants interested and engaged. The staff has over 60 combined years of experience in providing services and activities to adults.
The Center is open Monday through Friday and full and half-day attendance is available. Lunch is provided, with the menus developed by a licensed dietitian, and may be adjusted to meet special dietary needs. Transportation is also available within a designated area of Eastern Cuyahoga County. Contact Jim Meinke for additional information at (216) 481-4823, ext. 166.
