What Still Waters Offers Apart from Other Adult Day Centers

Here, our services aren’t just check boxes. They’re built around what older adults actually need day to day. Guests can bring in their own PT, OT, or Speech Therapy if they already have providers they trust, but the staff is always ready to help families find good options if they’re unsure where to start. On top of that, the weekly schedule includes things like music therapy, art sessions, pet therapy, and even reminiscence activities. These programs aren’t random. They help people stay engaged, connected, and emotionally grounded, which makes a huge difference in daily quality of life.

The team itself is a big part of what makes the center feel safe. Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and CNAs are always around to help with bathroom needs, mobility, medication, or even getting from home to the center with optional transportation. They also offer quarterly podiatry visits, monthly hair services, and an annual immunization clinic. It takes a lot of stress off families when basic health care is accessible in one place. Since the center is for adults 55 and older, the care is designed specifically for seniors rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Support for Every Stage of Aging

One thing that stands out about Still Waters is its commitment to dementia-friendly care. They’re Level 2 certified through Dementia Friendly Indianapolis, which basically means they go beyond the bare minimum and actually train their staff to interact with patients, understanding, and dignity. They know dementia affects everyone differently, so they shape their environment around that reality instead of expecting guests to adjust on their own.

The services are designed to support all levels of cognitive ability. Some guests need more structure, some need more reassurance, and some just need a space where they can be themselves without feeling rushed or misunderstood. The staff pays attention to those differences. It shows in the way they talk to guests, the activities they choose, and the calm, steady atmosphere they create. Whether someone is dealing with early memory loss or more advanced symptoms, Still Waters strives to ensure every person feels included and cared for. And honestly, that’s the kind of support a lot of families are looking for but rarely find in one place.

Care settings should focus not just on “what’s wrong” but on who the person is, what their preferences are, and how they can stay engaged.
