Pleasant Day Medical Adult Day Care provides an environment to allow people to remain as independent as they can for as long as possible. Nursing care, under physician’s direction, increases the quality of life for participants by allowing them to remain at home or with family members longer. With 30+ years of experience with persons with chronic medical conditions, and including Alzheimer’s, Pleasant Day is the natural step between healthy living and a 24 hour care facility.
