The Community Family Adult Day Health
About
The Community Family is a nonprofit adult day health organization that helps elders, adults with disabilities and people with memory loss stay safe, healthy and living at home as long as possible. Its Everett center is one of three locations, alongside centers in Medford and Wakefield. Participants spend the day in a supervised setting with health care, therapeutic activities, nutrition and social services, while family caregivers get support and respite.
Founded more than 40 years ago, the organization serves more than 140 people each day across its centers, with a diverse group of participants from many ethnic and cultural backgrounds that mirror the surrounding communities. It pioneered specialized adult day programs for people with memory loss more than 30 years ago. Daily life includes music therapy, fitness classes, live entertainment, interactive technology and celebrations meant to build a sense of purpose. Its guiding philosophy is “care above and beyond.”
