Here is the situation a lot of families are in: Mom or Dad cannot be left alone all day, but they do not need to move into a facility full-time. Maybe you work during the day. Maybe you just need a few hours to run errands or take a breath. That is exactly what our adult day program is for.
Our program operates inside our assisted living community, so your loved one gets the same meals, activities, and staff attention as our full-time residents. They spend the day eating well, staying active, and being around other people — not sitting alone at home.
Drop them off in the morning. Pick them up when you are done. It is flexible, and it works.
Exercise, games, crafts, and conversation. Your loved one stays engaged and active.
Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included. Meals are developed by a registered dietitian and are full meals, not boxed meals.
Being around other people matters. Our program reduces isolation and gives your loved one purpose and community.
Need more than a day? Your loved one can stay overnight — for a night, a week, or longer.
Professional caregivers are with your loved one throughout the day, providing help and keeping them safe.
Arrange a schedule that works for your life. Every day, a few days a week — whatever you need.
FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS
IN-HOME SUPPORT
Not everyone is ready to move, and not everyone needs to. Sometimes what your loved one needs a trained professional to come by the house a few times a week to help with the things that have gotten harder — taking a shower, cooking a meal, keeping the house clean, picking up groceries, etc.
Our home care is non-medical. That means our caregivers handle the practical, everyday tasks that keep your loved one comfortable and safe at home. No clinical procedures, no medical equipment — just reliable, caring help on a schedule that works for your family.
Help with showers, grooming, and getting dressed. Handled with dignity and respect, in the comfort of home.
Nutritious meals prepared in your loved one’s kitchen, based on their preferences and dietary needs.
Laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and general tidying. A clean home makes a big difference in quality of life.
Pharmacy pickups, grocery runs, and other errands your loved one can no longer handle on their own.
Conversation, walks, card games, or just being there. Loneliness is real, and having someone around helps.
A few hours a week or daily visits — we build the schedule around what your family actually needs.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Still have questions? Call (423) 490-2188 and our admissions team will walk you through everything.
How do Adult Day Services work?
You drop your loved one off, and we take care of the rest. They spend the day in our Assisted Living community — eating meals, participating in activities, socializing with other residents, and receiving supervision from trained staff. You pick them up when you’re ready. It is that simple. You can arrange a schedule that works for your family, whether that is every weekday, a few days a week, or less.
Can my loved one stay overnight?
Yes. Our Adult Day Services program offers overnight respite stays. If you need to travel, recover from surgery, or just need a longer break, your loved one can stay with us for a night, a weekend, or several weeks. They receive the same care and access to all amenities as our full-time assisted living residents.
Are Adult Day Services covered by TennCare CHOICES?
Yes. Our Adult Day Services are CHOICES-approved. If your loved one qualifies for Tennessee’s Medicaid long-term care program, Adult Day Services may be covered. Our admissions team can help you figure out eligibility and walk you through the application process.
What does Non-Medical Home Care actually include?
Our home care is non-medical, meaning our caregivers help with daily living tasks —not clinical procedures. That includes bathing, getting dressed, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, running errands, grocery shopping, and companionship. If your loved one needs medical care, we can help connect you with the right resources.
How do I get started with Non-Medical Home Care?
Call us at (423) 490-2188 or email kenstonebrook@standiferplace.org. We will set up a consultation to understand what your loved one needs, and then build a care plan around that. Services can start as soon as the plan is in place — there is no long waiting period.
How much does Non-Medical Home Care cost?
Costs depend on the number of hours and type of services your loved one needs. We will give you a clear breakdown during the consultation so there are no surprises. Some families use long-term care insurance or VA benefits to help cover costs — our team can help you explore those options.
