Adult Day Program Information
Established in 1999, the Isabella County Adult Day Program (ADP) provides respite care for seniors and cognitively impaired adults needing assistance or supervision.

“I’m happy to be a part of such a meaningful program.”
“The strength gained from fellowship with others is a strong motive for Senior Citizens like myself and others.
Here are a few examples of group activities: playing table games among the group, trivia, reminiscing, gathering together for a meal at lunchtime, activities tailored to holidays and music ministries.
My wife, whom is also my caregiver, is provided a free time for rest, relaxation or leisure time. The program offers assistance by trained staff with personal care as needed.
I’m happy to be a part of such a meaningful program.”
– James (Jim) Grashaw
