Chautauqua Adult Day Care Centers Inc. is proud to announce it has received a grant from the East Hill Foundation.

The grant from the East Hill Foundation made it possible for our Dunkirk Adult Day Program to replace program furniture and storage cabinets, along with purchasing furniture for the outdoor deck. Included in the grant are new leather recliners and also a lift chair for those with difficulty getting in and out of the recliners. The tables and storage units will be used daily in the Activity Department. This program furniture will help meet the physical needs of the frail population that we serve. It is also an attractive update to our homelike setting for the elderly who attend the program.

Chautauqua Adult Day Services offers senior day programs for adults 60 years of age and older who live in the community. The day programs enable seniors to have quality of life through socialization and activity programming. The sites provide breakfast, snack and a hot noon-time meal for participants. There is also a community recreation program that helps seniors participate in outings in the community and the sites offer pet therapy, ceramics, music programs, arts and crafts and much more on an ongoing basis. In addition, the agency also has a “Saturday Program” in Jamestown which helps participants stay involved in community events and outdoor recreation.
