RossWoods provides adult day services in Dalton, Georgia, from its home at 1402 Walston Avenue. It is a non-profit, community operated service, and its own newsletters describe a program built around steady daily routines for the adults who attend. A good day there includes clean clothes and daily hygiene, healthy meals, bathing and showering, physical activity, and time to rest. Social and creative activities are part of the routine too, because staying connected and busy helps participants feel in control of their day and improves quality of life for as long as possible.
RossWoods also looks after the family members who care for participants at home. Its Caregiver Support Group meets at RossWoods on the second Tuesday of every month from noon to 1 p.m., and free respite and lunch are provided for your loved one if you call ahead. On the last Tuesday of every month, the Caregivers' Time Out runs from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and includes free respite and dinner for caregivers, so a caregiver can take a real break while their loved one is looked after.
Veterans are a named part of the program. Adult Day Health Care is a standard benefit for enrolled veterans who meet nursing home level of care, and caregivers of a veteran looking for a day program are invited to call RossWoods and ask for Kim. Families can follow daily activities and photos of participants on the RossWoods Adult Day Services Facebook page. To ask about the program, update your contact details, or register a loved one, call RossWoods at 706-270-9628. The center publishes its holiday closings in advance, and weather-related closing notices are sent by text to families who sign up.

Does Medicare pay for adult day care?
No. Medicare does not pay for adult day care on its own. One exception is PACE, a program run by Medicare and Medicaid together. PACE covers adult day health care for people who join it. Most adult day care is paid by Medicaid, the VA, or the family.
What is the difference between adult day care and home care?
Adult day care is a day program outside the home. It gives meals, activities, health checks, and rides to and from the center. Home care sends a caregiver into the home to help one person. Adult day care also gives family caregivers a break during the day.
Who else pays for adult day care besides Medicare?
Medicaid pays for adult day care in many states for people who qualify. The VA covers adult day health care for many veterans. Some long-term care insurance plans pay for it. The rest is paid out of pocket.
