Elderly Services
RCIL's Elderly Services program provides services for adults with disabilities, enabling them to remain at home and postpone or eliminate placement in a nursing home. A range of programs helps families and individuals through the full span of issues that face people during this life stage, whether that involves making a transition out of a nursing home and back into the community or providing much-needed opportunities for therapeutic socialization in an integrated setting. RCIL's Elderly Services program also provides linkage with appropriate community resources such as respite, education/training, support groups, benefits counseling, and advocacy services. -
Our Elderly Services programs include the following:
- Adult Day Services -- A social adult day program designed to improve the quality of life for adults of all ages facing disabilities including physical limitations, developmental disabilities, mental retardation, Alzheimer's and other dementias, as well as provide respite for caregivers. RCIL also has an on-site outreach program to elderly residents with disabilities from the Municipal Housing Authority and low-income senior housing, as well as an Adult Day Services program in Inlet, New York.
- In-Home Respite -- Gives caregivers of people with disabilities time to pursue personal, business, or recreational activities. A qualified respite worker will come to your home to supervise and interact with your family member while the caregiver is away.
- Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Coalition (ADAC) -- Provides education to caregivers and healthcare professionals, and assessments, case management, information and referral, counseling services, and outreach to individuals, caregivers, professionals, and family members of those with Alzheimer's Disease and/or memory impairment.
