Bay Area Community Services - Oakland

BACS' Adult Day Care Services program is designed to enable older adults with chronic health problems, including Alzheimer's Disease, to remain in their homes and avoid premature institutionalization. It is licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services.

The program provides a variety of activities that stimulate socialization and communication skills for people with memory loss. The program also helps caregivers, who know that their family members are in a safe environment that will keep them involved and stimulated. This gives caregivers time for work, rest and meeting personal needs. We provide information and assistance accessing programs and services that can help them.

Open Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., we offer a program of activities led by an Oakland Adult School teacher assisted by trained staff. Transportation, snacks and a nutritionally balanced lunch are all provided daily. This is a fee-for-service program. The fee is reasonable and we offer scholarship assistance.
