Q: Who attends Still Waters Adult Day Center?
Still Waters services predominantly seniors (age 55 and older) who need supervised care in a safe, contained space due to illness, cognitive impairment, or frailty. We also serve those who could benefit from being around others and who just need a reason to get up in the morning. Those who live alone or spend most of their time alone can greatly benefit from the socialization and stimulation Still Waters provides.
Q: What kind of help do you provide for personal needs?
At Still Waters, we offer the same care you provide in the home – assistance with walking or transferring, eating, using the toilet or showering, and taking medications on schedule. Still Waters’ nursing staff can also provide some medical care necessary to meet specific guests’ needs Our staff completes an assessment of each prospective guest prior to enrollment so that we can discuss your individual needs.

Although we do not offer transportation services, our staff will be happy to help you make transportation arrangements through a third-party company if you are unable to bring your loved one to the Center.
Q: How does the enrollment process work?
We do a brief assessment to make sure adult day services will meet your needs. You may also qualify for financial assistance in paying for care at Still Waters.
Like any organization, Still Waters requires a certain amount of paperwork. A form signed for the guest’s primary care physician is required, as is a current TB test or chest x-ray. We also require the completion of an Emergency Contact form, medication authorization (if applicable), and Personal History Form. Payment of the deposit is required before services begin. Although there is no contract, we ask each family to sign a Service Agreement that spells out our policies in detail. We also require that each guest have a change of clothing which we store at the Center.
Q: What happens if I can’t attend due to illness, travel, or other reason?
We understand that people become sick or otherwise have to cancel. Please contact the Center as soon as possible if you know you won’t be attending. Canceling service by noon of the day before your scheduled day can be done at no charge. Cancellations made by 9:00 am of your scheduled day will be charged at 50% of the rate for the day(s) missed. Late cancellations or no-shows will be charged for the day(s) missed.

Statements are sent on the first business day of the month for the previous month’s charges. We send electronic statements and preferred payment is by pre-authorized direct debit from a checking or savings account. All accounts must be paid in full by the 10th of the month to avoid additional fees. If you are unable or unwilling to pay by pre-authorized direct debit, we require payment by cash or check weekly.
