Adult Day Care--Extended Family.

This booklet reports on a community project in Texas involving a day care center for senior citizens. It contains an analysis of successes and failures in attempting to satisfy the project's goals of: (l) keeping individuals out of institutions as long as possible; (2) providing social contact and enrichment experiences; (3) making the burden lighter for younger members of a family, adult children who work, and so on; (4) providing a nutritional program and pleasant surroundings for elderly who otherwise would be much alone; (5) providing transportation in some form... for travel to medical clinics, dentists, and doctors' offices, recreational trips, therapists, adult education classes, over and above the normal travel to and from the center. Case examples are also included, as well as a review of other similar centers. (MML)
