Adult Day Care

A few weeks ago we looked at another adult day program. This one seemed to have a better program and a smaller client to staff ratio (smaller than the last place we tried--the one that told us not to bring her back after three days. She required more supervision than they could provide.)

We are going to see if this place will have room for Kimmie over the summer. Hopefully we'll get our foot in the door for year-round when Kimmie finishes school in two years.

The one thing that always strikes me when we tour adult day programs is that they are adults. It is so hard for us to think of Kimmie as an adult. She's such a "little" girl in so many ways--her toys, her interests, her size.

Sometimes I wonder if she will fit in. But she's with adults at church and she does ok. She's actually more sociable with adults, even developmentally disabled adults, than she is with youth or children.

A new phase for us.
