Learn more about daily activities, memory care support, flexible attendance, dining, transportation, and how our center feels like a true home for your loved one.
What makes Home Away From Home different from other adult day centers?
Our center provides a residential, home-like setting with a living room, library, and activity room, not a large gym-style space. Staff and members build close relationships, and everyone eats together at the dining table, creating a sense of family and community.
What types of activities do members participate in daily?
Members enjoy music, arts and crafts, painting flower pots, gentle exercise, games, and themed events like Pizza Fridays and Spa Days. Activities focus on cognitive stimulation, socialization, and fun, not just passive supervision.
Do you offer specialized support for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia?
Yes, our staff provide structured memory care for adults living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia. We create a safe, engaging environment that encourages independence and supports cognitive abilities while prioritizing dignity and well-being.
How flexible is attendance? Can we choose specific days or shifts?
Families can choose from one to five days per week, with morning and afternoon shifts available. This flexibility helps accommodate work schedules, appointments, and changing caregiver needs.
What is the dining experience like at your center?
We serve meals family-style, with staff and members at the same table. This approach encourages conversation, connection, and ensures everyone feels included. Dietary needs are always honored.
Is transportation available for seniors who do not drive?
Yes, we partner with Delgo Transportation Service for seniors in Delaware County. This makes it easier for mobile members to attend, even if family members are working or unavailable.
Can I visit the center before enrolling my loved one?
Absolutely. We host an open house every Tuesday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at our location on North Providence Road in Media, PA. No appointment is needed, and light refreshments are provided during your visit.
How do you support seniors who have difficulty with speech or socialization?
Our staff offer one-on-one companionship, helping members find their words and feel seen and valued. We focus on building friendships and meaningful engagement, not just managing a caseload.
What service areas do you cover?
Our primary focus is Media, PA and Delaware County (Delco), but we welcome families from the Philadelphia area, Delaware, and New Jersey. If transportation can be arranged, we are happy to accommodate seniors from the broader tri-state region.
