What types of activities do you offer?

We offer a consistent weekly schedule of hands-on programs including arts and crafts, painting flower pots, music sessions, gentle exercise, games, guest speakers, and themed events like Pizza Fridays and Spa Days. Activities are ability-inclusive and designed for all levels of mobility.

Are activities the same every week?

Each day of the week has a set activity theme that stays consistent, but the specific project or focus may vary. For example, painting day may involve painting a picture one week and painting flower pots the next. This keeps things fresh while maintaining a comforting routine.

Are activities suitable for seniors with memory conditions?

Yes. Our activities are designed to support cognitive stimulation and emotional well-being for adults living with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Dementia. Programs are ability-inclusive and adjusted to ensure every member can participate comfortably.

Do you bring in outside guests or entertainment?

Yes. We occasionally welcome guest speakers and outside entertainment as part of our activity schedule. These visits add variety and give members something special to look forward to throughout the week.

Where can I see a current activity schedule?

Our activity schedule is regularly posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages. You are also welcome to visit our Tuesday Open House from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM to see our programs in action and ask our team any questions.

Activities | Home Away From Home Adult Day Center

At Home Away From Home Adult Day Center, activities are more than just a way to pass the time. Every day, members participate in thoughtfully designed programs that stimulate both mind and body. From music and painting to gentle exercise and themed social events, our schedule is built to replace passive TV time with meaningful moments of connection. Special touches like Pizza Fridays, Spa Days with sparkling cider, and visits from guest speakers add variety and excitement. Our activities are always ability-inclusive, ensuring that every member, whether in the living room, library, or activity room, feels welcomed and valued. This approach supports cognitive health, encourages friendships, and brings genuine joy to every day.

Families in Media, PA and Delaware County trust Home Away From Home because we treat every member as an individual, not a number. Our staff form real connections with those we serve, helping members find their words, offering a listening ear, and providing companionship that goes beyond basic supervision. We prioritize dignity and emotional wellness, focusing on one-on-one engagement rather than a clinical caseload. Our home-like environment eliminates the discomfort of institutional settings, replacing it with comfortable furnishings and a sense of belonging. Flexible attendance options, including morning and afternoon shifts, make it possible for families to find the right fit. We are proud to work closely with Delgo Transportation Service, making our programs accessible to seniors throughout the area.

Our activities are carefully planned to support cognitive stimulation, physical movement, and social interaction. Members can look forward to arts and crafts, music sessions, gentle group exercises, and engaging games. Themed days, like Pizza Fridays and Spa Days, break up the weekly routine and give everyone something special to anticipate. Family-style dining is a core part of our day: staff and members share meals at the dining room table, creating real moments of connection and comfort. Our spaces are designed to feel like home, with a cozy living room, a quiet library, and an inviting activity room, never a large, impersonal gym. For those living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or dementia, our memory care support ensures a safe, structured environment that fosters independence and dignity.

Adult children and caregivers often arrive feeling uncertain or even guilty about choosing day care for their loved ones. At Home Away From Home, we see this journey every week: new members who were once skeptical quickly become active participants, finding joy and purpose in our daily activities. Our supportive staff and welcoming community turn anxiety into peace of mind. With flexible scheduling, access to transportation, and a commitment to genuine engagement, we make it easier for families to balance responsibilities while ensuring their loved ones thrive. The Tuesday Open House provides a no-pressure way to see our center in action, meet our team, and ask questions, all while enjoying light refreshments in a friendly setting.
