March 12, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 13 CHCC program promotes senior independence Nearly 160 seniors representing 50 towns in northern New Jersey attend Christian Health Care Adult Day Ser- vices in either Wayne or Wyckoff. The program is designed to help clients maintain independence and improve their quality of life. Door-to-door transportation is available by wheel- chair-accessible vans. Medical care, nutrition services, activities, social services, pastoral care, and personal-care services are offered in a safe, friendly, and pleasant atmo- sphere. An individualized care plan, with input from the client’s personal physician, is developed upon admission so individuals receive the maximum benefit from the pro- gram. Medicaid is accepted and other financial-assistance programs include the Community Care Program for the Elderly and Disabled, Respite Care, state Gerontology Alzheimer’s Program, Veterans Administration, and long- term care insurance. Jean Gilsinan, a resident of Hawthorne, attends Chris- tian Health Care Adult Day Services of Wyckoff. “I must tell you that my first few days at the program, I thought I did not belong here,” Gilsinan said, smiling. “I used to wait for my daughter to ask how my day went so I could say I wasn’t going back. Oh, how that has changed! Now I come here four days a week. I really do love this place.” Today, Gilsinan takes advantage of all Christian Health Care Adult Day Services has to offer. She enjoys the cama- raderie with her fellow clients, and has come to consider the staff as her extended family.
