What is an adult day medical center?
It is a daytime health
care facility that has a homelike atmosphere. Each participant is
cared for by qualified and experienced nurses, social workers,
activity therapists, and nursing assistants. Our professional team

of care to optimize the quality of each participants life. All care
plans nurture strengths and build assets to enhance self-help. Each
plan receives approval from the participant's physician.

County Department of Health sponsors the center. They also employ
the professionals who staff the facility. Maryland's Department
of Health and Mental Hygiene licenses the Kent
Island location.
