Adult Day Health Program

On August 3, 2009, SMEC opened the doors to our new Adult Day Health Program. Located on the first floor our our 12 Welby Road location in New Bedford, the SMEC ADH program serves individuals aged 22+ who have been found eligible for Medicaid-funded Adult Day Health services.

As an additional day program option for our adult consumers, SMEC ADH offers age-appropriate activities throughout the day, community trips, hot lunch, snacks, social and recreational opportunities. A nurse is on site daily to oversee medication/medical issues. A monthly schedule is developed with input from the attendees. Door to door transportation is provided. Members must attend a minimum of two 6-hour days, however flexible schedules are available. For more information, please call Karen Stern, SMEC's Adult Services Director at (508) 858-5127.
