WELCOME TO

SarahCare of Belden Village

Conveniently located near The Strip area of Canton across from Stark State College is SarahCare of Belden Village.  Our center is large, bright, homey, and comfortable, and we have a full day planned for you! Make new friends and new memories when you join us for activities and exercise, crafts and clubs. Enjoy delicious, nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacks served daily in the dining room, or go with the Lunch Bunch on a trip to one of the local restaurants. We know that sometimes the guys like to get together by themselves, and this is why we created The Men’s Club. This group meets in a separate area of the center where they watch sports, play cards, or just reminisce about old times.

There’s always something going on at SarahCare, and our seniors have multiple activities to choose from throughout the day. Our Activities Coordinators take our participants’ hobbies and interests into consideration when planning the calendar. In addition to our always busy craft room, our participants can choose to do some container gardening on the patio, some baking with the kitchen staff, or go on an outing to a local museum, restaurant, or sporting event.

AN ENTIRE TEAM AT YOUR SERVICE

Unlike home care where you get one person to care for your needs, when you come to SarahCare of Belden Village, you get an entire team to help address your needs as well as your wants. For the cost of less than about four hours of home care, you can receive a full day of care, activities, exercise, meals, outings, and nursing oversight. Our days revolve around the interests of our participants, so no two days are exactly alike.

Our direct care providers are specially trained to care for seniors who need varying levels of assistance. Unlike many other adult day or senior centers, we accept those who need the assistance of a cane, walker, or wheelchair, and can provide help with transfers and the activities of daily living. Your loved one with dementia will be gently and lovingly cared for in a safe, secure setting by caregivers with special dementia caregiving training. They feel especially rewarded by a smile or a hug, knowing they have helped to make someone’s day just a little bit brighter.

Each SarahCare Adult Day Health Center has RNs and LPNs on site during the day. They extend an extra level of care by:

• Monitoring blood pressure, glucose levels, and chronic health conditions
• Administering medications as prescribed by the participant’s physician
• Working with families and physicians to devise an individual plan of care
• Providing a Restorative Nursing program for those who would benefit from one

Activities are important to our participants and our Activities Coordinator’s goal is to keep everyone involved, happy, and engaged with their peers. You can see by our monthly activities calendar that our days are full. But no one is required to participate in the featured activity, as there are multiple activities running simultaneously and everyone has a choice of how they spend their time

Our Kitchen Coordinator makes sure that each participant receives a continental-style breakfast, full lunch, and afternoon snack each day and that the menu meets or exceeds the CACFP requirements for seniors. We encourage hydration by making available water, flavored water, coffee, tea, and milk throughout the day. For those who have special dietary needs or restrictions, we can provide soft, mechanically processed, diabetic meals, and even tube feedings. Just ask!

Our Transportation Drivers provide door-to-door service in our specially equipped wheelchair vans to participants to and from the center. DRIVE training is a program for drivers who regularly transport passengers with unique needs related to aging or disability and fulfills the transportation quality assurance standards required for providers under the Older Americans Act Title III services in Ohio and Ohio’s PASSPORT Medicaid Waiver program. Each of our drivers are required to complete DRIVE training prior to start, as well as Basic Life Support (CPR) and first aid training.

Our center’s Administrative Assistant is the first smiling face you see as you enter the building and ensure that everyone gets off to a good start. More than that, however, our Admins and our drivers are vital links between home and the center and communicate any concerns to our staff. Our Admins are also responsible for attendance and billing, as well as a whole host of behind-the-scenes operations that keep us running smoothly.

SarahCare Program Directors are the head of the team that provides the daily care for your loved one. Generally they have worked with SarahCare in other capacities and over time, have gained enough knowledge and experience to earn their position. Without a doubt, our Program Director is kind, compassionate, and empathetic. Program Directors work closely with all departments within the center to ensure that the needs of our participants and their families and caregivers are being addressed. If ever you have a problem or concern, please do not hesitate to contact them immediately.

We invite you to schedule a tour and a free trial day.
