The North Ward Center provides adult day care in Newark, NJ, with daytime support rather than an overnight stay. Participants can use the center’s health, therapeutic, recreational and social services during the day, while continuing to live outside the center.
The center has 120 beds and has served the community since 1970. Its wellness program brings together primary healthcare, preventative healthcare, therapeutic services, recreational services and social services, allowing participants to receive several kinds of support during their time there.
Transportation is available, and the adult medical day program provides a nutritious breakfast and lunch. With a Walk Score of 81, the area is very walkable, so most errands can be completed on foot and someone who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently. The North Ward Center may be a good fit for someone who needs daytime health and social support while continuing to live outside the center. Ms. Rosangela Petinati serves as the administrator.
