Taking care of an aging parent can cause an enormous amount of stress. The reality is that caregiving has all the markers of a highly stressful experience — extended periods of physical and psychological strain, unpredictability, and lack of control over one’s life.
Anxiety disorders are known to lead to memory problems and difficulty concentrating. Caregiving objectively does place stresses on the caregiver’s mind and body, and some level of guilt, sadness, anger, or other negative emotions are natural consequences. Curious about your options?
Social model adult day care is a structured, comprehensive program that provides a variety of individual social, basic health, and related support services in a protective care setting. The optional services offered by different social model day programs vary, but tend to include mixed recreational and therapeutic activities designed to provide socialization and boost self-esteem.
While most alternatives to adult care are more expensive, they could be a great option if you or your loved one requires a more comprehensive and hands-on level of medical care.

At Town Square Princeton, Senior citizens can take a unique nostalgia trip at Town Square, an inclusive, groundbreaking, 1950s themed concept center that aims to enhance and improve the lives of older adults, including those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Assisted living facilities provide seniors with home-like independence. For people who can no longer safely live alone or can’t maintain a home, assisted living offers a secure alternative. But for seniors who still want to pursue their interests and socialize with other people, adult day care is often the better option.
Taking care of a loved one who is elderly, disabled, or ill can take up as much time as a full-time job. Of course, most people who do so also have many more responsibilities in their lives as well, and risk severe stress and mental health effects if they need to give round-the-clock care.
Caring for elderly family members or loved ones can be stressful and even overwhelming at times. It may also conflict with other responsibilities. Thankfully, there are adult day services available to assist.
