Fit and Fall Program
The Fit and Fall Program is a program geared towards preventing falls in older adults. It promotes muscle movement and balance, posture awareness, flexibility, strength and endurance. The goal is to reduce the risk of falls, help maintain static and dynamic balance, take the fear out of falling and build confidence.
Pet Therapy
Pet therapy is a popular method of mild therapy for seniors. At SarahCare of Boise, our participants are able to interact with specially trained animals physically, mentally and emotionally to receive the best possible results. Participants get the loving attention from the animals without the necessary care requirements the animals need.
Music Therapy
Music Therapy is a great benefit to seniors to increase or maintain their level of physical, mental, social and emotional function. The stimulation of music is very helpful in maintaining a quality of life for our participants.
Transportation
SarahCare© of Boise Adult Day Center strives to make your life easier by providing transportation. Transportation is provided from a participant’s home location to SarahCare© of Boise. When the participant is scheduled to leave and return to their own home location, our transportation will complete their day.
Our vans are specially equipped to handle wheelchairs and walkers as well as ambulatory participants.
Scheduling is comprised of personal choice, availability and location.
Transportation is provided within a twenty mile radius from the center.
